As we learnt in

Magnetic moment (M) -

M=NiA

- wherein

N-number of turns in the coil 

i-current throughout the coil 

A-area of the coil 

 

 |\vec{M}|=\frac{NiA}{Al}=\frac{Ni}{l}=\frac{(500)\times 15}{25\times 10^{-2}}=30000\ Am^{-1}

 


Option 1)

3\pi Am^{-1}

Option 2)

30000 Am^{-1}

Correct

Option 3)
