A nonconducting plate of mass and radius has a charge uniformly distributed over it. The plate rotates about its axis with an angular speed . What is the relationship between the magnetic moment and the angular momentum of the plate?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
For a uniform distribution of charge and mass, the ratio of magnetic moment to angular momentum can be found by considering an elemental ring of radius and thickness on the plate.
The charge on this ring is
The equivalent current due to the rotation of this ring is
The magnetic moment of this elemental ring is
Integrating from to , the total magnetic moment is:
The angular momentum of the circular plate (disk) about its axis is:
Taking the ratio of magnetic moment to angular momentum:
The charge on this ring is
The equivalent current due to the rotation of this ring is
The magnetic moment of this elemental ring is
Integrating from to , the total magnetic moment is:
The angular momentum of the circular plate (disk) about its axis is:
Taking the ratio of magnetic moment to angular momentum:
