    A circular loop and a square loop are formed from the same wire and the same current is passed through them. Find the ratio of their dipole moments

    A) 4\[\pi \]                                               

    B) \[\frac{4}{\pi }\]    

    C)  \[\frac{2}{\pi }\]                                             

    D) 2\[\pi \]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Suppose the length of wire is\[l\].           When wire formed in circular loop then radius of loop \[r=\frac{l}{2\pi }\] Magnetic dipole Mi \[{{M}_{1}}=iA=i\pi {{r}^{2}}\] \[=i\pi \times {{\left( \frac{l}{2\pi } \right)}^{2}}=i\times \frac{{{l}^{2}}}{4\pi }\]                 When wire formed in square loop then the side of loop \[a=l/4\] Magnetic dipole \[{{M}_{2}}=IA=i\times {{a}^{2}}=i\times \frac{{{l}^{2}}}{16}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{M}_{1}}}{{{M}_{2}}}=\frac{4}{\pi }\]
