5.11. A proton has a spin and magnetic moment, just like an electron. Then, why is its effect neglected in the magnetism of materials?

Answer:

The comparison between the spinning of a proton and an electron is done by comparing their magnetic dipole moment, which is given as

μe = eh/4πme

μp/μe = me/mp = 1/1837 >> 1

μp << μe

Answer:

C1 is the circular coil with radius R, length L, and no.of turns per unit length n1 = L/2Ï€R

C2 is the square with side a, perimeter L, and no.of turns per unit length n2 = L/4a

Exemplar Solutions Class 12 Physics Chapter 5 - 19

Magnetic moment of C1 = m1 = n1iA1

Magnetic moment of C2 = m2 = n2iA2

m1 = LiR/2

m2 = Lia/4

Moment of inertia of C1 = I1 = MR2/2

Moment of inertia of C2 = Ma2/12

Solving the above, we get a = 3R
