A circular loop carrying a current I has a dipole moment of and a magnetic field of at its center. The magnetic field at the loop's center is when the dipole moment is doubled while maintaining the current constant. The ratio is
Step 1: Given Data:
Current in the loop =
Magnetic field at center =
Magnetic field at center when dipole moment is doubled =
Step 2: Formula used:
DIpole moment for turns of the wire loop
Where is number of turns, is the current, is surface area
The magnetic field at the center of the loop .
Step 3: Calculating the new radius
The dipole moment at center can be calculated as-
When the dipole moment is doubled suppose new dipole moment is-
keeping current constant.
Let the new radius is then-
Thus, If dipole moment is doubled and keeping current constant , becomes-
Step 4: Calculating the ratio
The magnetic field at the center of the loop -
Using formula,
…………(1)
The magnetic field will be--
From equation (1)
or we can calculate the ratio as-
.
Hence option A is the correct answer.
