Concepts Of Physics MCQ Edition [Volume 2]PhysicsMagnetic Field
A nonconducting ring of radius r and mass m carries a total charge q that is uniformly distributed over it. The ring is rotated about its axis with an angular speed . Determine the equivalent electric current in the ring.
Options
- Aq 2
- Bq
- Cq
- Dq 4
Correct answer
A. q 2
Step-by-step solution
The total charge on the ring is q . The ring rotates with an angular speed . The time period of one complete rotation is T = 2 . The equivalent electric current I is the total charge passing a given point per unit time. I = q T I = q 2 = q 2
