A uniform conducting wire of length 12a and resistance 'R' is wound up as a current carrying coil in the shape of
(i) an equilateral triangle of side 'a'
(ii) a square of side 'a'
The magnetic dipole moments of the coil in each case, respectively, are
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Current in the both loops should be same.
Now magnetic moment of triangle loop, 

and magnetic moment of square loop,
