Question

In a hydrogen atom, the electron moves in an orbit of radius 2 Å making 8 × 10¹⁴ revolutions per second. Find the magnetic moment associated with the orbital motion of the electron.

What is current sensitivity of a galvanometer ? Show how the current sensitivity of a galvanometer may be increased. "Increasing the current sensitivity of a galvanometer may not necessarily increase its voltage sensitivity." Explain.

A moving coil galvanometer has a resistance 15 Ω and takes 20 mA to produce full scale deflection. How can this galvanometer be converted into a voltmeter of range 0 to 100 V ?

An electron is revolving around a proton in an orbit of radius r with a speed v. Obtain expression for magnetic moment associated with the electron.

Dipoles, whether electric or magnetic, are characterised by their dipole moments, which are vector quantities. Two equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance constitute an electric dipole, while a current carrying loop behaves as a magnetic dipole. Electric dipoles create electric fields around them. Electric dipoles experience a torque when placed in an external electric field.
