$A$ steady current $i$ flows in a small square loop of wire of side $L$ in a horizontal plane. The loop is now folded about its middle such that half of it lies in a vertical plane. Let $\overrightarrow {{\mu _1}} $ and $\overrightarrow {{\mu _2}} $ respectively denote the magnetic moments due to the current loop before and after folding. Then

  • A
    $\overrightarrow {{\mu _2}} = 0$
  • B
    $\overrightarrow {{\mu _1}} $ and $\overrightarrow {{\mu _2}} $ are in the same direction
  • C
    $\frac{{|\overrightarrow {{\mu _1}} |}}{{|\overrightarrow {{\mu _2}} |}} = \sqrt 2 $
  • D
    $\frac{{|\overrightarrow {{\mu _1}} |}}{{|\overrightarrow {{\mu _2}} |}} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$

$A$ circular coil of radius $10 \text{ cm}$ and $100$ turns carries a current of $1 \text{ A}$. What is the magnetic moment of the coil?

An insulated wire is wound so that it forms a flat coil with $N = 200$ turns. The radius of the innermost turn is $r_1 = 3\text{ cm}$, and of the outermost turn $r_2 = 6\text{ cm}$. If $20\text{ mA}$ current flows in it, then the magnetic moment will be $\alpha \times 10^{-2}\text{ A.m}^2$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .
