Magnetic field at the centre of a circular loop of area \(A\) is \(B\). Then the magnetic moment of the loop is (\(\mu_0\)-permeability of the free space)
  1. \(\frac{B A^2}{\mu_0 \pi}\)
  2. \(\frac{B A \sqrt{A}}{\mu_0}\)
  3. \(\frac{B A \sqrt{A}}{\mu_0 \pi}\)
  4. \(\frac{2 B A \sqrt{A}}{\mu_0 \sqrt{\pi}}\)

Solution

As we know, the magnetic field due to a current carrying circular loop at the centre, \(B=\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 R}\) ...(i) So, the magnetic moment of the Loop, \(M=i A\) From Eq. (i), we get \(\begin{aligned} & & M & =\frac{2 B R}{\mu_0} \cdot A \\ & & A & =\pi R^2 \\ & & R & =\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}} \\ & \text {Hence, } & M & =\frac{2 B A \sqrt{A}}{\mu_0 \sqrt{\pi}} \end{aligned}\) Hence, the correct option is (d).
