A particle of charge ' $\mathrm{q}$ ' and mass ' $\mathrm{m}$ ' moves in a circular orbit of radius ' $r$ ' with angular speed ' $\omega$ '. The ratio of the magnitude of its magnetic moment to that of its angular momentum depends on
  1. $\omega$ and $q$
  2. $\omega$ and $m$
  3. $q$ and $m$
  4. $\omega, \mathrm{q}$ and $\mathrm{m}$

Solution

Angular momentum $(\mathrm{L})=\mathrm{I} \omega=\mathrm{mr}^2 \omega$ Magnetic moment $(M)=\pi r^2 q f=\pi r^2 q \frac{\omega}{2 \pi}=\frac{1}{2} q \omega r^2$ $\therefore \frac{\mathrm{M}}{\mathrm{L}}=\frac{\mathrm{q}}{2 \mathrm{~m}}$
