Q. Figure shows a closed loop of wire that consists of a pair of equal semicircles, of radius , lying in mutually perpendicular planes. The loop was formed by folding a flat circular loop along a diameter until the two halves became perpendicular to each other. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude is directed perpendicular to the fold diameter and makes equal angles of with the planes of the semicircles, initially . The loop is rotated at a constant angular velocity about the fold diameter. This induces an emf, which causes a current to flow in the wire. The resistance per unit length of the wire is . The magnetic moment of the loop is
