Consider a solid sphere of radius r and mass m which has a charge q distributed uniformly over its volume. The sphere is rotated about a diameter with an angular speed ω. Show that the magnetic moment μ and the angular momentum ℓ of the sphere are related as 
Answer :
Given
radius of solid sphere = r
mass of sphere = m
charge on the sphere =q
angular speed of the sphere = ω
magnetic moment and the angular momentum ℓ of the sphere are related –
