A nonconducting ring of radius and mass carries a total charge that is uniformly distributed over it. The ring is rotated about its axis with an angular speed . Determine the magnetic moment of the ring.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The rotating charge on the ring constitutes an equivalent electric current.
The equivalent current is given by , where is the time period of rotation.
Since the angular speed is , the time period is .
Therefore, the current is .
The magnetic moment of a current loop is the product of the current and the area of the loop.
The area of the ring is .
Substituting the values, we get .
