A charge q is distributed uniformly around a thin ring of radiusr . The ring is rotating about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its plane, at an angular speedӬ. (a) Show that the magnetic moment due to the rotating charge has magnitude μ=12qӬr2. (b) What is the direction of this magnetic moment if the charge is positive?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The magnitude of the magnetic moment due to the rotating chargeisμ=12qӬr2

(b) The direction of the thumb of the right-hand points in the direction of dipole moment if the charge is positive and the fingers are rotating in the direction of rotation.

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: Identification of the given data

The uniformly distributed charge over the ring is,q

The radius of the ring is, r

The angular speed of the ring is,Ó¬

02

Representation of various formulae

The magnetic moment of the rotating charge is equal to the product of the current passing through the ring and the area of the ring. It is expressed as follows,

μ=iA

Here,i is thecurrent passing through the ring, andAis the area of the ring.

The expression for thecurrent passing through the ring is expressed as follows,

i=qt

Here,qis the charge on the object, andtis the time.

The expression for the angular speed of the ring is given as follows,

Ó¬=2Ï€t

Here, tis the time taken.

Step 3:(a) Determination of the magnitude of the magnetic moment due to the rotating charge

Substituteqtfor i, andÏ€°ù2 forA inμ=iA .

μ=qt×π°ù2

RearrangeÓ¬=2Ï€t .

t=2Ï€Ó¬

Substitute the above value in μ=qt×π°ù2.

μ=qӬ×π°ù2(2Ï€)=12qÓ¬r2

Thus, the magnitude of the magnetic moment due to the rotating charge isμ=12qӬr2

Step 4:(b) Determination of direction of magnetic moment if charge is positive

According to the right-hand thumb rule, if the charge is positive, on curling the fingers of right hand in the direction of rotation, the thumb points in the direction ofthedipole moment.

Thus, the direction of the thumb of the right-hand points in the direction of dipole moment if the charge is positive and the fingers are rotating in the direction of rotation.

Figure 32-26 shows four steel bars; three are permanent magnets. One of the poles is indicated. Through experiment ends a and d attract each other, ends c and f repel, ends e and h attract, and ends a and h attract. (a) Which ends are the north poles? (b) Which bar is not a magnet?

An electron in an external magnetic field B⇶Äext. has its spin angular momentum Szantiparallel to B⇶Äext. If the electron undergoes a spin-flip so thatSz is then parallel th B⇶Äext, must energy be supplied to or lost by the electron?

Figure 32-23 shows a face-on view of one of the two square plates of a parallel-plate capacitor, as well as four loops that are located between the plates. The capacitor is being discharged. (a) Neglecting fringing of the magnetic field, rank the loops according to the magnitude of∮B⇶Ä·ds⇶Äalong them, greatest first. (b) Along which loop, if any, is the angle between the directions of B⇶Äandds⇶Äconstant (so that their dot product can easily be evaluated)? (c) Along which loop, if any, is B constant (so that B can be brought in front of the integral sign in Eq. 32-3)?

Figureis a one-axis graph along which two of the allowed energy values (levels) of an atom are plotted. When the atom is placed in a magnetic field of 0.500TE2, the graph changes to that of Figure bbecause of the energy associated withμ→orb.B→. Level E1is unchanged, but level splits into a (closely spaced) triplet of levels. What are the allowed values ofm1associated with (a) Energy level E1and (b) Energy level E2? (c) In joules, what amount of energy is represented by the spacing between the triplet levels?

A sample of the paramagnetic salt to which the magnetization curve of Fig 32-14 applies is to be tested to see whether it obeys Curie’s law. The sample is placed in a uniform 0.50T magnetic field that remains constant throughout the experiment. The magnetization M is then measured at temperatures ranging from 10 to 300K. Will it be found that Curie’s law is valid under these conditions?
