AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

The magnetic moment of an electron moving in a circular orbit of radius \(R\) with a time period T is

  1. A \(\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{Re}}{\mathrm{T}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\pi \mathrm{eR}}{\mathrm{T}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\pi e \mathrm{R}^2}{\mathrm{~T}}\)
  4. D \(\pi \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{eT}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\pi e \mathrm{R}^2}{\mathrm{~T}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mu = IA\) \(I = \frac{e}{T}\) \(A = \pi R^2\) \(\mu = \frac{e}{T} \cdot \pi R^2 = \frac{\pi e R^2}{T}\)
