Problem

(a) A phonograph record of radius RR, carrying a uniform surface charge σ\sigma, is rotating at constant angular velocity ω\omega. Find its magnetic dipole moment. (b) Find the magnetic dipole moment of the spinning spherical shell in Ex. 5.11. Show that for points r>Rr > R the potential is that of a perfect dipole.
