TS EAMCET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A particle of charge \(q\) and mass \(m\) 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 is

  1. A \(\frac{q}{m \omega}\)
  2. B \(\frac{q}{2 m r}\)
  3. C \(\frac{q}{2 m}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2 q}{m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{q}{2 m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ratio of magnitudes of magnetic moment and angular momentum of rotating charged particle in an orbit is called its 'Gyromagnetic ratio' its' value is equals to \(1 / 2\) of specific charge of the particle.…
