Please help me with the last question (Q. 61) in HC Verma Chapter 34 (Magnetic Field)

Engineering Entrance , Medical Entrance , AIPMT , JEE Main , AIIMS , JEE Advanced , Physics , Magnetism

I am unable to obtain the function that must be integrated in order to get the final expression. Please help.

The question is:

Consider a solid sphere of radius 'r' and mass 'm' which has a charge 'q' distributed uniformly over its volume. The sphere is rotated about a diameter with an angular speed 'ω'. Show that the magnetic moment 'μ', and the angular momentum 'l' of the sphere are related as :

μ = ql / 2m

Let the sphere's centre be at the origin and it be rotating about the z axis.

So angular momentum = [ Assuming that it rotates counter clockwise as seen from above ]

Let there be a disk whose z coordinate is a and thickness da.

Let there be a ring of radius x on this disk and thickness dx.

Area of ring = .

Volume of ring = 2 x dx da.

Charge on ring = 2 x dx da / (4/3 ) Q = .

As time period of a complete revolution is 2 / , the current in this ring is / (2 / ).

Area vector of the loop of the current is .

So of the ring is * / (2 / )

Integrating the expression w.r.t. x to find of the disk and then keeping the limits 0 and ( the z coordinate of the disk is a so its radius is ), we get the of the disk as .

To get the of the sphere, we have to integrate this and put the limits -R to R (as a varies from -R to R).

Expansion of the square, integration and putting the limits leaves us with = =

Hence proved.

One thing I'd like to point out the following fact:

ALL SYMMETRIC SYSTEMS WITH CHARGE EVENLY SPREAD CAN BE EQUATED TO A ELECTRON ROTATING AROUNG THE NUCLEUS

Tht's wht I remember...... and this fact makes such problems very easy

current

Now magnetic moment =nIA (with n=1)

so

Now as mvr =L and area=

This reduces calculation time by a massive amount!! And mind you, this is not just a coincidence.its a proven fact.

But if you wanna do it by the integration method, 3774's method is perfect!!

hope this helps

cheers!!
