magnetism-and-matter Question 6

Question: Q. 2. A circular coil of N turns and radius R carries a current I. It is unwound and rewound to make another coil of radius R/2, current I remaining the same. Calculate the ratio of the magnetic moments of the new coil and the original coil. A [O.D. 2012]

Show Answer

Solution:

Ans. We have :

N12πR=N22π(R/2) N2=2N1

Magnetic moment of a coil, m=NAI

For the coil of radius ’ R ‘,

m1=NIA1=NIπR2

For the coil of radius R/2,

m2=N2IA2=2NIπR2/4=NIπR2/21/2 m1:m2=1:21/2
