Question:

A particle carrying a charge equal to \(100\) times the charge of an electron is rotating one rotation per second in a circular path of radius \(0.8\) m. The value of magnetic field produced at the centre will be (\(\mu _{0}\) = permeability of free space)

Show Hint

A rotating charge acts as a circular current I = q f, and the field at the centre of a loop is mu_0I/2r.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
A charge going around a circle once per second is equivalent to a current \(I=qf\).

Step 2: Find the Current
\(q=100\times1.6\times10^{-19}=1.6\times10^{-17}\) C, \(f=1\) Hz, so \(I=1.6\times10^{-17}\) A.

Step 3: Calculation
\(B=\dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2r}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}\times1.6\times10^{-17}}{2\times0.8}=\mu_{0}\times10^{-17}\) T.

Final Answer:
The magnetic field at the centre is mu_0 x 10-17. \[ \boxed{\text{(B) }\mu_{0}10^{-17}} \]
