NEET 2026 Physics Moment of Inertia MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A thin wire of length 'L' and linear mass density 'm' is bent into a circular ring (in x-y plane) with centre 'C' as shown in figure. The moment of inertia of the ring about an axis yy' will be:

Question diagram
A

3mL³/8π

B

3mL³/8π²

C

3mL²/8π

D

3mL²/8π²

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The mass of the thin wire is mL. The radius of the circular ring is L/2π. Using the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia I_yy' is calculated as 3mL³/8π².
