Magnetics 6 Question 26
29. A ring of radius having uniformly distributed charge is mounted on a rod suspended by two identical strings. The tension in strings in equilibrium is . Now, a vertical magnetic field is switched on and ring is rotated at constant angular velocity . Find the maximum with which the ring can be rotated if the strings can withstand a maximum tension of .
Show Answer
Solution:
- In equilibrium,
or
Magnetic moment,
Let
For translational equilibrium,
For rotational equilibrium
Solving Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we have
As
