Q88 / 125 · BITSAT 2019 · Physics

An electron revolves in a circular orbit of radius r with angular speed ω. The magnetic field at the centre of electron orbit is

  • A
    μ0eωπr
  • Correct answer
    B
    μ0eω4πr
  • C
    μ0e2ω4πr
  • D
    μ0eω2πr

Solution

Magnetic field at the centre of circular loop.

B=μ0l2r    ...i

Period of revolution of electron, where ω= angular velocity of electron

T=2πω

where, ω= angular velocity of electron.

Current produced due to movement of electron,

I=eT=e2πω=eω2π

On substituting the value of I in Eq. (i), we get

B=μ02r·eω2π

⇒B=μ0eω4πr

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
