The ratio of the magnetic field and the magnetic moment at the centre of a current-carrying circular loop is $x$. When both the current and the radius are doubled, the ratio will be:

  • A
    $x / 8$
  • B
    $x / 4$
  • C
    $x / 2$
  • D
    $2 x$

An insulated wire is wound so that it forms a flat coil with $N = 200$ turns. The radius of the innermost turn is $r_1 = 3\text{ cm}$, and of the outermost turn $r_2 = 6\text{ cm}$. If $20\text{ mA}$ current flows in it, then the magnetic moment will be $\alpha \times 10^{-2}\text{ A.m}^2$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .

The magnetic moment vectors $\mu_{s}$ and $\mu_{l}$ associated with the intrinsic spin angular momentum $S$ and orbital angular momentum $L$ respectively,of an electron are predicted by quantum theory (and verified experimentally to a high accuracy) to be given by $\mu_{s} = -(e/m)S$ and $\mu_{l} = -(e/2m)L$. Which of these relations is in accordance with the result expected classically? Outline the derivation of the classical result.

Due to the flow of current in a circular loop of radius $R$,the magnetic field produced at the centre of the loop is $B$. The magnetic moment of the loop is
