moving-charges-and-magnetism Question 43

Question: Q. 2. An electron of mass me revolves around a nucleus of charge +Ze. Show that it behaves like a tiny magnetic dipole. Hence, prove that the magnetic moment associated with it is expressed as μ=e2meL, where L is the orbital angular momentum of the electron. Give the significance of negative sign.

U [Delhi II 2017]

Show Answer

Solution:

Ans. (i) Behaviour of revolving electron as a tiny magnetic dipole.

(ii) Proof of the relation, μ=e2meL

(iii) Significance of negative sign

Electron, in circular motion around the nucleus constitutes a current loop which behaves like a magnetic dipole.

Current associated with the revolving electron

I=eT  and T=2πrv I=e2πrv

Magnetic moment of the loop,

μ=IA μ=IA=ev2πrπr2 =evr2=emevr2me

Orbital angular momentum of the electron,

-ve sign signifies that the angular momentum of the revolving electron is opposite in direction to the magnetic moment associated with it.

[AI Q. 3. Define the term current sensitivity of a galvanometer. In the circuits shown in the figures, the galvanometer shows no deflection in each case. Find the ratio of R1 and R2.

U] [O.D. Comptt I, III 2017]

Ans. Definition of current sensitivity

Ratio R1R2

Current sensitivity of a galvanometer is deflection per unit current

 [Alternatively, Is=θI=NABK ]   In circuit (i), 46=R14R1=83Ω  In circuit (ii), 6R2=128R2=4Ω R1R2=23

[CBSE Marking Scheme 2017]

Detailed Answer :

(i) Current sensitivity of galvanometer is the deflection produced when unit current passes through the galvanometer. A galvanometer is said to be sensitive if it produces large deflection for a small current.

I=CnBAθ

where, C is torsional constant.

 Currentsensitivity =θI=nBAC

(ii) Consider the circuit I :

For balanced Wheatstone bridge, there will be no deflection in the galvanometer, so

Hence,

4R1=64 R1=4×46=83Ω

1/2

Consider the circuit II :

For equivalent circuit, when the Wheatstone bridge is balanced, there will be no deflection in the galvanometer, so

Hence,

612=R28

R2=6×812=4Ω

Now ratio,

(1)R1R2=834=23
