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.

If, for this value ofB0 , we haveBM=800B0 , how much charge moves through the secondary coil when the current in the toroid windings is turned on?

You place a magnetic compass on a horizontal surface, allow the needle to settle, and then give the compass a gentle wiggle to cause the needle to oscillate about its equilibrium position. The oscillation frequency is 0.312Hz. Earth’s magnetic field at the location of the compass has a horizontal component of18.0μ°Õ. The needle has a magnetic moment of0.680mJ/T. What is the needle’s rotational inertia about its (vertical) axis of rotation?
