Calculate the ratio between the magnitudes of the magnetic dipole moment and angular momentum of a particle with mass m and charge q moving in a circular orbit in a uniform magnetic field.
Added by Adam R.
Step 1
The magnetic force on the charged particle is given by the Lorentz force formula: $F = q(vB)$, where $v$ is the velocity of the particle and $B$ is the magnetic field strength. Show more…

A charged particle enters the magnetic field of a mass spectrometer at a speed of 1.79 x 10^6 m/s. It subsequently moves in a circular orbit with a radius of 16.0 cm in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.350 T, having a direction perpendicular to the particle's velocity. Find the particle's mass-to-charge ratio.

Consider an electron rotating in a circular orbit of radius $\mathrm{r} .$ Show that the magnitudes of the magnetic dipole moment $\mu$ and the angular momentum $L$ of the electron are related by: $\frac{\mu}{L}=\frac{e}{2 m}$.
