Question
A charge 2Q is spread uniformly over an insulated ring of radius R/2. What is the magnetic moment of the ring if it is rotated with an angular velocity ω with respect to normal axis?
Solution
Given,
Radius of an insulated ring = R/2
Charge= 2Q
Angular velocity with which the ring is rotated with respect to normal axis = ω
Now,
Charge on the element of length dl of the ring is
Current due to circular motion of this charge is
Magnetic moment due to current dl
