$A$ charged particle going around in a circle can be considered to be a current loop. $A$ particle of mass $m$ carrying charge $q$ is moving in a plane with speed $v$ under the influence of magnetic field $\overrightarrow{ B }$. The magnetic moment of this moving particle is:

  • A
    $-\frac{ mv ^{2} \overrightarrow{ B }}{ B ^{2}}$
  • B
    $-\frac{m v^{2} \vec{B}}{2 \pi B^{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{m v^{2} \vec{B}}{2 B^{2}}$
  • D
    $-\frac{m v^{2} \vec{B}}{2 B^{2}}$
