Does a point charge 'q' (say an electron) moving with constant angular speed ω in a circle of radius R constitute a current ?
A rotating ring of uniform charge density is treated as a current flowing in the ring .
On similar lines I think a point charge q is equivalent to current given by i = qω/2π .
Could someone help me understand this concept ?
Many Thanks
Edited : Replaced 'rotating' with 'moving'
