TS EAMCET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A particle of mass \(m\) and charge \(Q\) moving with a speed \(v\) in a circular path of radius \(R\) has magnetic moment \(\mu\). If the mass of the particle is doubled and maintains the same speed while revolving in the same circular path, then the magnetic moment will be

  1. A doubled
  2. B halved
  3. C tripled
  4. D unchanged
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) unchanged

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic moment associated with moving charge on circular path is given as, \(\mu=\frac{Q v R}{2} \Rightarrow \mu \propto Q v R\) Clearly \(\mu\) doesn't depend on mass of charged particle and also if \(v=\) unchanged then \(\mu=\) uncharged.
