The effective current i=(q ω /2 π ) and A=π r2. Magnetic moment M=iA=(1/2)qω r2 Angular moment L=Iω =mr2ω ⇒ (M/L)=(q/2 m)

Q. A particle of charge $q$ and mass $m$ moves in a circular orbit of radius $r$ with angular speed $ω .$ The ratio of the magnitude of its magnetic moment to that of its angular momentum depends on

$ω$ and $q$

$ω, q$ and $m$

$q$ and $m$

$ω$ and $m$

The effective current $i = \frac{q ω}{2 π}$ and $A = π r^{2} .$
Magnetic moment $M = i A = \frac{1}{2} q ω r^{2}$
Angular moment $L = I ω = m r^{2} ω \Rightarrow \frac{M}{L} = \frac{q}{2 m}$
