B$2M/\pi $
b Initial magnetic moment $M=m l$
when it is bent in a semi circular wire the effective length between the poles become $2 R$
where $\pi R=l$
$R=l / \pi$
Therefore, new $M_{\text {new}}=m l_{e f f}=m \times 2 \times R=\frac{m \times 2 \times l}{\pi}=\frac{2 M}{\pi}$

A long thin walled pipe of radius $R$ carries a current $I$ along its length. The current density is uniform over the circumference of the pipe. The magnetic field at the center of the pipe due to quarter portion of the pipe shown, is
The resistance of a galvanometer is $50\, ohm$ and the maximum current which can be passed through it is $0.002\, A$. What resistance must be connected to it in order to convert it into an ammeter of range $0 -0.5\, A$ ?....$ohm$
A current $I$ flows in an infinitely long wire with cross-section in the form of a semicircular ring of radius $R$ . The magnitude of the magnetic induction along its axis is
Two very long, straight and parallel wires carry steady currents $I$ and $I$ respectively. The distance between the wires is $d$. At a certain instant of time, a point charge $q$ is at a point equidistant from the two wires in the plane of the wires. Its instantaneous velocity $v$ is perpendicular to this plane. The magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field acting on the charge at this instant is
A particle of charge $q$ and mass $m$ moves in a circular orbit of radius $r$ with angular speed $\omega $. The ratio of the magnitude of its magnetic moment to that of its angular momentum depends on
Two very long, straight, parallel wires carry steady currents $I$ and $-I$ respectively. The distance etween the wires is $d$. At a certain instant of time, a point charge $q$ is at a point equidistant from the two wires, in the plane of the wires. Its instantaneous velocity $v$ is perpendicular to the plane of wires. The magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field acting on the charge at this instant is
