Q76 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (26 Jul Shift 2) · Physics

Two concentric circular loops of radii r1=30 cm and r2=50 cm are placed in X-Y plane as shown in the figure. A current I=7 A is flowing through them in the direction as shown in figure. The net magnetic moment of this system of two circular loops is approximately

Figure

  • A
    72k^ A m2
  • Correct answer
    B
    -72k^ A m2
  • C
    7k^ A m2
  • D
    -7k^ A m2

Solution

Net magnetic moment of the system is 

M→=-IA1k^+IA2k^       (Here currents in both circular loops are in opposite direction)

M→=-Iπ0.52k^+Iπ0.32k^   

M→=-7×22725100-9100k^=-2216100k^

 M→=-3.52k^ A m2

=-72k^ A m2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
