A straight wire carrying a current is turned into a circular loop if the magnitude of magnetic moment associated with it is M then the length of the wire will be

A

`sqrt((4pi M)/(I))`

B

`sqrt((2pi M)/(I))`

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

M = IA = `I. pi r^(2)`
`implies r = sqrt((M)/(l pi))`
As l = `2pi r`
`implies l = 2pi sqrt((M)/(lpi)) = sqrt((4pi M)/(l))`
