    A charged particle (charge q) is moving in a circle of radius R with uniform speed v. The associated magnetic moment \[\mu \] 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 \[\mu =IA=I\times \pi {{R}^{2}}\] or            \[\mu =\frac{qv}{2\pi R}\times \pi {{R}^{2}}\]    \[=\frac{1}{2}qvR\]
