Question

A current carrying loop behaves like a

• A. $\text{Magnetic dipole}$
• B. $\text{Magnetic pole}$
• C. $\text{Magnetic material}$
• D. $\text{Non-Magnetic material}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\text{Magnetic dipole}$

A current carrying loop creates a magnetic field same as that of a magnetic dipole.


From above diagram we can see that, the face in which current flows in anti-clockwise direction it behaves as the North Pole. And face in which current flows in clockwise direction it behaves as the South Pole.
