The magnetic moment of a flat current-carrying coil of N turns, current I, and area A is:

Answer: NIA.

  • A NIA
  • B NI/A
  • C IA/N
  • D N/(IA)

Correct answer: A. NIA

Explanation: Magnetic moment m = NIA, directed normal to the coil plane.

Bar Magnet Field LinesNSfield lines: N → S (outside magnet)

Magnetic field lines form closed loops: outside the bar magnet they run from the N pole to the S pole; inside, they continue from S back to N, so the lines never start or end anywhere.

Concept context

Bar magnets, Earth's magnetism, and how different materials respond to an external magnetic field - diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic behaviour.
