Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the magnetic moment of a circular loop of radius r carrying a current I? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand that the magnetic moment (μ) is a measure of the strength of a magnetic source.
  • Step 2: Know that for a circular loop carrying a current, the magnetic moment is calculated using the formula μ = I × A.
  • Step 3: Identify that A is the area of the circular loop.
  • Step 4: Calculate the area (A) of the circular loop using the formula A = πr², where r is the radius of the loop.
  • Step 5: Substitute the area (A) back into the magnetic moment formula: μ = I × πr².
  • Step 6: Simplify the expression to get the final formula for the magnetic moment: μ = πr²I.
