Question

An electron is at p at t=0. It is circulating in anti clockwise with a constant angular speed w along the shown circular path. Magnetic field at q(cq=2r

Answer 1

Explanation:

The problem statement, all variables and given/known data An electron is at P at t=0. It is circulating in anti-clockwise direction with a constant angular speed ω along the shown(see attachment) circular path. Magnetic field at Q (CQ=2R, where R is radius of circle) will be recorded as zero at times .............? 3. The attempt at a solution The situation is equivalent to a circular ring in which current is flowing in clockwise direction. I can't really see why will the magnetic field be zero at some time. It should be constant as the current does not change.
