JEE Main 2021Magnetic Effects of Current Question with Solution

JEE Main 2021 (31 Aug Shift 2)

Question

A long solenoid with 1000 turns m-1 has a core material with relative permeability 500 and volume 103 cm3. If the core material is replaced by another material having relative permeability of 750 with same volume maintaining same current of 0.75 A in the solenoid, the fractional change in the magnetic moment of the core would be approximately x499. Find the value of x.

Correct answer
250

Step-by-step explanation

M=magnetic moment mV
 χH=mV
 m=μr-1NiV
 Δmm=[750-1-500-1]NiV500-1NiV=250
