A plane current loop of area A carrying current I has a magnetic moment equal to:

Answer: IA.

  • A IA
  • B I/A
  • C A/I
  • D I²A

Correct answer: A. IA

Explanation: The magnetic dipole moment of a current loop is m = IA.

Magnetic Field Lines Around a Straight WireIfield forms concentric circles around the wire (right-hand rule)

The magnetic field around a long straight current-carrying wire forms concentric circles, with direction given by the right-hand rule (point thumb along I, fingers curl in the direction of B).

Concept context

Magnetic force on moving charges and currents, the Biot-Savart law, Ampere's law, and the cyclotron - how electric currents create and respond to magnetic fields.
