A point charge Q= (=3 10⁻¹² C ) rotates uniformly in a vertical circle of radius R =1 ~mm . The axis of the circle is aligned along the magnetic axis of the earth. At what value of the angular speed , the effective magnetic field at the center of the circle will be reduced to zero? (Horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field is 30 micro Tesla)
Options
- A10 ¹¹ rad / s
- B10⁹ rad / s
- C10¹³ rad / s
- D10⁷ rad / s
Correct answer
A. 10 ¹¹ rad / s
Step-by-step solution
₀ 2 R ( q 2 )=30 10⁻⁶ So =10¹¹ rad / s
