Homework Statement


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

Homework Equations


m = int I \bullet da

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!

ahh i got the answer using the equation

\vec{m} = \frac{1}{2} \int_{S} \vec{r}' \times \vec{K}(\vec{r'}) da'

da = r dr d\theta

thanks anyway!
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
