NEET 2025 Physics Effect of Coil Radius MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

A 2 amp current is flowing through two different small circular copper coils having radii ratio 1:2. The ratio of their respective magnetic moments will be

A

1:4

B

1:2

C

2:1

D

4:1

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Magnetic moment M = nIA, where A is the area. Since area is proportional to the square of the radius, the ratio of magnetic moments is (1²):(2²) = 1:4.
