A charged particle (charge `q`) is moving in a circle of radius `R` with unifrom speed `v`. The associated magnetic moment `mu` is given byA. `(qvR)/2`B. `qvR^(2)`C. `(qvR^(2))/2`D. qvR

Answer» Correct Answer - A
As revolving charge is equivalent to a current, so,
`i=qf=qxx(omega)/(2pi)`
But `omega=V/R`
Where R is radius of circle and v is uniform speed of charged particle.
Therefore, `i=(qv)/(2piR)`
Now, magnetic moment associated with charged particle is given by
`mu=IA=IxxpiR^(2)`
`mu=(qv)/(2piR)xxpiR^(2)=1/2 qvR`
