    23
    A uniform conducting wire of length 24a24a, and resistance RR is wound up as a current carrying coil in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side ' aa ' and then in the form of a square of side ' aa '. The coil is connected to a voltage source V0V_{0}. The ratio of magnetic moment of the coils in case of equilateral triangle to that for square is 1:y1:\sqrt{y} where yy is

    Two concentric circular loops of radii r1=30 cmr_{1}= 30\text{ }cm and r2=50 cmr_{2}= 50\text{ }cm are placed in X-Y plane as shown in the figure. A current I=7 AI = 7\text{ }A is flowing through them in the direction as shown in figure. The net magnetic moment of this system of two circular loops is approximately:
