A straight wire carrying current \(i\) is turned into a circular loop. If the magnitude of magnetic moment associated with it in MKS units is \(M\), the length of wire will be
  1. \(4 \pi i M\)
  2. \(\sqrt{\frac{4 \pi M}{i}}\)
  3. \(\sqrt{\frac{4 \pi i}{M}}\)
  4. \(\frac{M \pi}{4 i}\)

Solution

Suppose, \(l\) be the length of wire. Hence, \(\quad l=2 \pi r \Rightarrow r=\frac{l}{2 \pi}\) \(\therefore\) Magnetic dipole moment, \(\begin{aligned} M & =i A \\ M & =i \cdot \pi r^2 \Rightarrow=i \pi \cdot\left(\frac{l}{2 \pi}\right)^2=i \pi \cdot \frac{l^2}{4 \pi^2} \\ \Rightarrow M & =\frac{i l^2}{4 \pi} \\ l^2 & =\frac{4 M \pi}{i} \Rightarrow l=\sqrt{\frac{4 \pi M}{i}} \end{aligned}\)
