Dear student
 
Effective length = 2R = 2L/pi
 
Magnetic moment = 2 * 0.314 * 0.5 /3.14 = 0.1 Am2
 
Hope it helps

Magnetic moment = M = pole strength × effective length = 0.5 × 31.4 × 10–2 = 15.7 × 10–2 Am2 when bent in semicircle, new magnetic moment = M' = (2M/π) ∴ M' = [(2 × 15.7 × 10–2)/(3.14)] = 0.1 Am2
