Understanding the concepts of magnetic moment

We will use the definition of magnetic moment and expression of current due to circular motion of electron and positive ion to find the magnetic moment of electron and positive ion. By using the necessary condition for circular motion, we can deduce the required expression.

Formula:

Force acting on charged particle moving in magnetic field is F→=q(v→×B→)

Centripetal force,F→=−mv2rr^

Magnetic moment,μ→=iA→

(a) Calculations of the magnetic dipole moment of electron 

Magnetic moment of electron

μe→=iA→=−eTA.→

Theelectron is moving in a circular orbit of radiusr.Hence the area vector is perpendicular to the plane of the orbit. We assume thattheelectron is moving in counter clockwise direction; then we getthedirection of Aas given below:

A→=πr2z^

Using this, we get

Magnetic moment of electron

μe→=−eTA→=−eTâ‹…Ï€r2z^=eTâ‹…Ï€°ù2(−z^)

Let’s assume that the electron is completing one revolution in timeT=2Ï€°ùv

Where,vis the velocity of electron.

Therefore,

μe→=eTâ‹…Ï€°ù2(−z^)=eÏ€°ù2v2Ï€°ùâ‹…(−z^)=evr2â‹…(−z^)

Now the force acing on an electron moving in a magnetic field isF→=−e(v→×B→)

F→=evB(−r^)

As the electron is moving in circular orbit

F→=evB(−r^)=mev2r(−r^)

This givesthemagnitude of force as given below:

evB=mev2r

Therefore,

r=meveB

Substituting rin μe→, we get

μe→=ev2⋅meveB(−z^)=mev22B(−z^)=KeB(−z^)

Hence, the magnitude of magnetic dipole moment of electron is μe=KeB, and its direction is alongthenegativeZaxis.

(b) Calculations of the magnitude of magnetic dipole moment of a positive ion

Following similar steps for the positive ion, we will assume a charge on positive ion to beq=+e.

Magnetic moment of (+)ionis μ+→=iA→=+eTA→=+eTâ‹…Ï€°ù2(−z^).

Let’s assume(+)ionis complete one revolution in timeT=2Ï€°ùv

wherevis the velocity of(+)ion.

Therefore,

μ+→=+eTâ‹…Ï€°ù2(−z^)=eÏ€°ù2v2Ï€°ùâ‹…(−z^)=evr2â‹…(−z^)

Let F→=evB(r^)

Asthe(+)ionis moving in circular orbit

r=m+veB

Substitutingrinμ+→. we get

μ+→=ev2⋅m+veB(−z^)=m+v22B(−z^)=K+B(−z^)

Hence, the magnitude of magnetic dipole moment of a positive ion is localid="1662963848111" μ+=K+B.

05

(c) Calculations of the direction of magnetic dipole moment of positive ion 

We have

μ+→=K+B(−z^)

Therefore, the direction of magnetic dipole moment of the positive ion is along the negative Zaxis.

06

(d) Calculations of magnetization of ionized gas

Magnetization of ionized gas:

Sincethe ionized gas is a mixture of positive ions and electrons, magnetization is

M=neμe+n+μ+=neKeB+n+K+B

Also ne=n+

Using this, we get

M=neB⋅(Ke+K+)=5.3×10211.2⋅(6.2×10−20+7.6×10−21)=5.3×1021×10−21×(62+7.6)1.2=307.4≈3.1×102A/m

Magnetization of ionized gas,M=3.1×102A/m
