Options:
  • A $\frac{B A^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\mu_{0} \pi}$
  • B $\frac{2 \mathrm{~B} A^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\mu_{0} \pi^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
  • C $\frac{2 \mathrm{BA}^{2}}{\mu_{0} \pi}$
  • D $\frac{\mathrm{B} A^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\mu_{0} \pi^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{2 \mathrm{~B} A^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\mu_{0} \pi^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
If $\mathrm{r}$ is the radius of the circular loop them the area of the loop $\mathrm{A}=\pi \mathrm{r}^{2}$ $\therefore \mathrm{r}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\pi}}$
$\therefore$ The magnetic field at the centre is given by
$$
\mathrm{B}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{2 \mathrm{r}}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{2 \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\pi}}}
$$
$$
\therefore I=\frac{2 B}{\mu_{0}} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}
$$
Magnetic moment
$$
\begin{array}{c}
\mathrm{M}=\mathrm{IA}=\frac{2 \mathrm{~B}}{\mu_{0}} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\pi}} \cdot \mathrm{A} \\
=\frac{2 \mathrm{BA}^{3 / 2}}{\mu \pi^{\frac{1}{2}}}
\end{array}
$$
