A system has net charge zero. Can it have magnetic moment ?

A

yes

B

no

C

sometimes yes

D

cannot say

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Since the net charge of a system is zero means that there are positive and negative charges of equal magnitude. But as they are not specified under in motion or in static state. So nothing can be said about the magnetic moment of the total current produced.
