1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A phonograph record of radius R carrying a unifrom surface charge sigma is rotating at a cosntant angular velocity omega. Find its magnetic dipole moment
2. Relevant equations
m = int I \bullet da
3. The attempt at a solution
Need to find the current first
well the sruface charge density is
K = \sigma \omega R
K = \frac{dI}{dl_{perp}}
where dl perp is the infinitesimal widthruning parallel to the flow of current
so here dl perp refers to circumference
I = \int K \bullet 2 \pi r dr ??
is this even close to being right??
I fear i may have made some geomterical error..
thanks for your help!
