Consider a solid sphere of radius and mass having a charge distributed uniformly throughout its volume. The sphere rotates about a diameter with an angular speed . The relationship between the magnetic moment and the angular momentum of the sphere is given by
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
For a rigid body having uniform charge and mass distribution, the ratio of charge to mass for any elemental volume is constant.
Let the uniform charge density be and uniform mass density be .
Consider an elemental volume rotating at a perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation with angular speed .
The charge of the element is and its mass is .
The magnetic moment of this rotating element is .
The angular momentum of the element is .
Taking the ratio of the two quantities:
Since this ratio is constant for all elements, integrating over the entire volume of the sphere yields:
