Q86 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (27 Aug Shift 1) · Physics

A uniform conducting wire of length is 24a, and resistance R is wound up as a current carrying coil in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side a and then in the form of a square of side a. The coil is connected to a voltage source V0. The ratio of magnetic moment of the coils in case of equilateral triangle to that for square is 1:y where y is ____________.

Correct answer: 3

Solution

Figure

4an1=24a

thus n1=6 turns

Figure

3an2=24a⇒n2=8 turns

M1M2=n1iA1n2iA2=6×a28×a2×34=31

M2M1=13=1y

y=3

Hence, the correct answer is 3.
