A special metal S conducts electricity without any resistance. A closed wire loop, made of S, does not allow any change in flux through itself by inducing a suitable current to generate a compensating flux. The induced current in the loop cannot decay due to its zero resistance. This current gives rise to a magnetic moment which in turn repels the source of magnetic field or flux. Consider such a loop, of radius , with its center at the origin. A magnetic dipole of moment is brought along the axis of this loop from infinity to a point at distance from the center of the loop with its north pole always facing the loop, as shown in the figure below.
The magnitude of magnetic field of a dipole , at a point on its axis at distance , is , where is the permeability of free space. The magnitude of the force between two magnetic dipoles with moments, and , separated by a distance r on the common axis, with their north poles facing each other, is , where is a constant of appropriate dimensions. The direction of this force is along the line joining the two dipoles.

The work done in bringing the dipole from infinity to a distance from the center of the loop by the given process is proportional to
  1. (A)
  2. (B)
  3. (C)✓ Correct
  4. (D)

Answer: (C)

Solution

From the previous question, the induced current is .

The magnetic moment of the loop is:


The force between the two dipoles (given in the problem) is:


So

Work done in bringing the dipole from infinity to distance :




Therefore:


Correct answer: (C)
