Vedclass · Answer

(B) The magnetic moment of a rod is given by $M = m 	imes L$,where $m$ is the pole strength and $L$ is the length of the rod.When the rod is bent into a semicircle,the length $L$ becomes the arc length of the semicircle,so $L = \pi R$,where $R$ is the radius of the semicircle.Thus,the radius $R = \frac{L}{\pi}$.The new distance between the poles (the diameter of the semicircle) is $L' = 2R = \frac{2L}{\pi}$.The pole strength $m$ remains unchanged.Therefore,the new magnetic moment $M'$ is given by $M' = m 	imes L' = m 	imes \frac{2L}{\pi}$.Since $M = m 	imes L$,we can substitute $M$ into the equation:$M' = \frac{2M}{\pi}$.

An iron rod of length $L$ and magnetic moment $M$ is bent in the form of a semicircle. Now its magnetic moment will be
