                    A charged particle (charge q) is moving in a circle of radius R with uniform speed v. The associated magnetic moment u is given by:

    A)                                                                                                                                                             \[\frac{qvR}{2}\]

    B)                  \[qv{{R}^{2}}\]

    C)                  \[\frac{qv{{R}^{2}}}{2}\]             

    D)                  \[qvR\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                              As revolving charge is equivalent to a current, so                 \[I=q\,f\,=q\times \frac{\omega }{2\pi }\]                 But         \[\omega =\frac{v}{R}\]                 where R is radius of circle and v is uniform speed of charged particle.                 Therefore,   \[I=\frac{qv}{2\pi \,R}\]                 Now, magnetic moment associated with charged particle is given by                 \[\mu =I\,A=I\times \pi {{R}^{2}}\]                 \[or\mu =\frac{qv}{2\pi R}\times \pi {{R}^{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}qvR\]
