MHT CET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A particle of charge ' \(\mathrm{q}\) ' and mass ' \(\mathrm{m}\) ' moves in a circular orbit of radius ' \(r\) ' with angular speed ' \(\omega\) '. The ratio of the magnitude of its magnetic moment to that of its angular momentum depends on

  1. A \(\omega\) and \(q\)
  2. B \(\omega\) and \(m\)
  3. C \(q\) and \(m\)
  4. D \(\omega, \mathrm{q}\) and \(\mathrm{m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(q\) and \(m\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Angular momentum \((\mathrm{L})=\mathrm{I} \omega=\mathrm{mr}^2 \omega\)
Magnetic moment \((M)=\pi r^2 q f=\pi r^2 q \frac{\omega}{2 \pi}=\frac{1}{2} q \omega r^2\)
\(\therefore \frac{\mathrm{M}}{\mathrm{L}}=\frac{\mathrm{q}}{2 \mathrm{~m}}\)
