The magnetic dipole moment of a current ...

The magnetic dipole moment of a current loop is independent of

A

magnetic field in which it is lying

B

number of turns

C

area of the loop

D

current in the loop.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Current loop acts as a magnetic dipole. Its magnetic moment is given by
`M=NIA`
where N= number of turns, I= current in a loop, A=area of the loop.
From the above relation, we can conclude that magnetic dipole moment of a current loop is independent of magnetic field in which it is lying.
