A long circular tube of length 10m and radius 0.3m carries a current I along its curved surface as shown. A loop created of wire of radius 0.1m and a resistance 0.05Ω has been kept inside the tube with its axis coinciding with the axis of the tube. The current varies as I=I0cos(300t) where I0 is constant. If the magnetic moment of the loop is Nμ0I0sin(300t), then N is

Hint: The first step should be to find out the magnetic field inside the circular tube due to the current flowing along its curved surface. Then, from that value of magnetic field, we can calculate the flux linking the wire loop. With the flux, we can calculate the emf induced and then we will get the current induced in it by dividing the emf by the loop resistance. Then, by using the magnetic moment formula we will get the answer.
Formula used:
Magnetic field inside the tube,
B=μ0IL
Flux linked in a wire loop,
ϕ=Bπr2
Emf induced,
ε=dϕdt
Magnetic moment,
M=πIr2

Complete answer:
We have been given that the length, L and radius, R of the circular tube is 10m and 0.3m respectively. The current flowing through its curved surface is I, which varies as I=I0cos(300t) with I0 being a constant.
Now, using the Ampere’s circuital law, the magnetic field inside the tube can be written as
B=μ0IL,
And also, the flux linking the wire loop will be
ϕ=Bπr2
Where r be the radius of the wire loop placed inside the tube.
So,
ϕ=μ0ILπr2=μ0πr2I0cos300tL
Since, induced emf in a loop is given by,
ε=dϕdt=ddt(μ0Lπr2I0cos300t)
ε=μ0πr2I0300sin300tL
Therefore, current induced in the loop will be,
i=εr
Where r is the resistance of the loop.
i=μ0πr2I0300sin300tLr
Since, magnetic moment of the loop is given by,
M=πIr2
M=300π2r4μ0I0sin300tLr
Now, let us substitute the given values and taking
π2=10
M=300×10×(0.1)410×0.005μ0I0sin300t=6μ0I0sin300t
Comparing this term with the one given in the question, we get
N=6

So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note:
 Initially, there is no current flowing in the wire loop. The magnetic field produced by the circular tube will induce an emf inside the loop and because of that, there will be current. The value of emf can vary with the position of the loop.
