  • \(\frac{2B}{\mu_0} \sqrt{\frac{A^3}{\pi}}\)
  • \(\frac{\text{BA}^2}{4\mu_0\pi}\)
  • \(\frac{2\pi}{\mu_0} \sqrt{A^3}\)
  • \(\frac{\mu_0}{2B} \sqrt{\frac{A^3}{\pi}}\)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation


Concept: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2r} \quad , \quad A = \pi r^2 \]

Step 1:
Find $r$. \[ r = \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}} \]

Step 2:
Find current. \[ I = \frac{2rB}{\mu_0} \]

Step 3:
Magnetic moment. \[ m = IA = \frac{2rB}{\mu_0} \cdot A \] \[ m = \frac{2B}{\mu_0} A \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}} = \frac{2B}{\mu_0}\sqrt{\frac{A^3}{\pi}} \] Final Answer: Option (A)
