AIIMS 2019 Physics Magnetic Dipole Moment MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

The magnetic dipole moment is calculated as, M = i × πr² = (2e/2πr) × v × πr² = 2evr/2 = evr

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The magnetic dipole moment MM is derived from the formula M=i×πr2M = i \times \pi r^2, where ii is the current and rr is the radius of the loop. In this case, substituting ii with 2e2πr\frac{2e}{2\pi r} (where ee is the elementary charge) leads to M=evrM = evr, indicating that the dipole moment is directly proportional to the charge ee, the velocity vv, and the radius rr.

Options (1), (3), and (4) do not accurately reflect the relationship derived from the equations, as they either misrepresent the variables involved or fail to capture the proportionality of MM to evrevr. Understanding this relationship is crucial for analyzing magnetic effects in charged particle systems.
