12th Class Physics Magnetism Question Bank MCQ - Moving Charges and Magnetism

  • question_answer
    An electron having charge e moves in a circular orbit of radius r, with frequency v. The magnetic moment associated with the orbital motion of the electron is:

    A) \[\pi ve{{r}^{2}}\]                   

    B) \[\pi v{{r}^{2}}/e\]

    C) \[\pi v\frac{e}{v}\]                    

    D) \[\pi e\frac{{{r}^{2}}}{v}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a) \[\pi ve{{r}^{2}}\] Magnetic Moment, \[M=lA\] We know that, \[l=\frac{ch\arg e}{time}\] and time \[=\frac{1}{frequency}\] \[\therefore l=chagre\times frequency=ev\] \[\Rightarrow M=evA=ev\,(\pi {{r}^{2}})\]             \[=\pi ve{{r}^{2}}\]
