A nonconducting ring of radius rr and mass mm carries a total charge qq that is uniformly distributed over it. The ring is rotated about its axis with an angular speed ω\omega. Determine the magnetic moment μ\mu of the ring.

Options

  1. Aqωr2\dfrac{q \omega r}{2}
  2. Bqωr2q \omega r^2
  3. Cqωr22\dfrac{q \omega r^2}{2}
  4. Dqωr24\dfrac{q \omega r^2}{4}

Correct answer

C. qωr22\dfrac{q \omega r^2}{2}

Step-by-step solution

The rotating charge on the ring constitutes an equivalent electric current.

The equivalent current is given by i=qTi = \dfrac{q}{T}, where TT is the time period of rotation.

Since the angular speed is ω\omega, the time period is T=2πωT = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}.

Therefore, the current is i=qω2πi = \dfrac{q \omega}{2\pi}.

The magnetic moment μ\mu of a current loop is the product of the current and the area of the loop.

The area of the ring is A=πr2A = \pi r^2.

Substituting the values, we get μ=iA=(qω2π)(πr2)=qωr22\mu = i A = \left(\dfrac{q \omega}{2\pi}\right) (\pi r^2) = \dfrac{q \omega r^2}{2}.
