A straight wire carrying current I is made into a circular loop. If M is the magnetic moment associated with the loop, then the length of the wire is

A

`sqrt((4piM)/(I))`

B

`sqrt((2piM)/(I))`

C

`sqrt((piM)/(I))`

D

`sqrt((piM)/(2I))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Magnetic moment `M=IA`
According to question,
`2piR=L`
`piR=(L)/(2)`
`M=(I)/(pi)pi^(2)R`
`=I((L)/(2))^(2)`
`M=(I)/(pi)((L)/(2))^(2)`
`M=(I)/(pi)(L^(2))/(4)`
Length of the wire, `L=sqrt((4Mpi)/(I))`
