A nonconducting plate of mass mm and radius rr has a charge qq uniformly distributed over it. The plate rotates about its axis with an angular speed ω\omega. What is the relationship between the magnetic moment μ\mu and the angular momentum ll of the plate?

Options

  1. Aμ=q4ml\mu = \dfrac{q}{4m} l
  2. Bμ=q2ml\mu = \dfrac{q}{2m} l
  3. Cμ=2qml\mu = \dfrac{2q}{m} l
  4. Dμ=qml\mu = \dfrac{q}{m} l

Correct answer

B. μ=q2ml\mu = \dfrac{q}{2m} l

Step-by-step solution

For a uniform distribution of charge and mass, the ratio of magnetic moment μ\mu to angular momentum ll can be found by considering an elemental ring of radius xx and thickness dxdx on the plate.

The charge on this ring is dq=qπr2(2πxdx)=2qr2xdxdq = \dfrac{q}{\pi r^2} (2\pi x dx) = \dfrac{2q}{r^2} x dx

The equivalent current due to the rotation of this ring is di=dqT=dqω2π=qωπr2xdxdi = \dfrac{dq}{T} = \dfrac{dq \omega}{2\pi} = \dfrac{q \omega}{\pi r^2} x dx

The magnetic moment of this elemental ring is dμ=di(πx2)=qωr2x3dxd\mu = di (\pi x^2) = \dfrac{q \omega}{r^2} x^3 dx

Integrating from x=0x = 0 to x=rx = r, the total magnetic moment is:

μ=∫0rqωr2x3dx=qωr24\mu = \int_{0}^{r} \dfrac{q \omega}{r^2} x^3 dx = \dfrac{q \omega r^2}{4}

The angular momentum of the circular plate (disk) about its axis is:

l=Iω=mr22ωl = I\omega = \dfrac{mr^2}{2} \omega

Taking the ratio of magnetic moment to angular momentum:

μl=qωr24mr2ω2=q2m\dfrac{\mu}{l} = \dfrac{\dfrac{q \omega r^2}{4}}{\dfrac{m r^2 \omega}{2}} = \dfrac{q}{2m}

μ=q2ml\mu = \dfrac{q}{2m} l
