    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                 \[\mu =IA=I\times \pi {{R}^{2}}\] or            \[\mu =\frac{qv}{2\pi R}\times \pi {{R}^{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}qvR\]
