Correct answer: B

  1. Given charge distribution

The rod lies along the xxx-axis from x=0x=0x=0 to x=lx=lx=l, with linear charge density

λ(x)=ρ(x)=ρ0xl.\lambda(x)=\rho(x)=\rho_0\frac{x}{l}.λ(x)=ρ(x)=ρ0​lx​.

It rotates about an axis through x=0x=0x=0 and perpendicular to the rod with frequency nnn rotations per second.

So angular speed is

ω=2πn.\omega = 2\pi n.ω=2πn.

  1. Take a small element of the rod

Consider a small element of length dxdxdx at distance xxx from the axis.

Its charge is

dq=λ(x) dx=ρ0xl dx.dq = \lambda(x)\,dx = \rho_0\frac{x}{l}\,dx.dq=λ(x)dx=ρ0​lx​dx.

As the rod rotates, this small charge moves in a circle of radius xxx.

  1. Current due to the rotating charge element

If a charge dqdqdq completes nnn revolutions per second, the equivalent current is

dI=n dq.dI = n\,dq.dI=ndq.

Thus,

dI=nρ0xl dx.dI = n\rho_0\frac{x}{l}\,dx.dI=nρ0​lx​dx.

  1. Magnetic moment of this current loop

A current loop has magnetic moment

dμ=dI×area.d\mu = dI \times \text{area}.dμ=dI×area.

Here the area of the circular path is

A=πx2.A = \pi x^2.A=πx2.

So,

dμ=dI πx2=(nρ0xl dx)πx2.d\mu = dI\,\pi x^2 = \left(n\rho_0\frac{x}{l}\,dx\right)\pi x^2.dμ=dIπx2=(nρ0​lx​dx)πx2.

Therefore,

dμ=πnρ0x3l dx.d\mu = \pi n \rho_0 \frac{x^3}{l}\,dx.dμ=πnρ0​lx3​dx.

  1. Integrate over the rod

μ=∫0ldμ=πnρ01l∫0lx3 dx.\mu = \int_0^l d\mu = \pi n \rho_0 \frac{1}{l} \int_0^l x^3\,dx.μ=∫0l​dμ=πnρ0​l1​∫0l​x3dx.

Now,

∫0lx3 dx=l44.\int_0^l x^3\,dx = \frac{l^4}{4}.∫0l​x3dx=4l4​.

Hence,

μ=πnρ01l⋅l44=π4nρ0l3.\mu = \pi n \rho_0 \frac{1}{l}\cdot \frac{l^4}{4} = \frac{\pi}{4} n \rho_0 l^3.μ=πnρ0​l1​⋅4l4​=4π​nρ0​l3.

  1. Final answer

Thus the time-averaged magnetic moment is

μ=π4nρ0l3.\boxed{\mu = \frac{\pi}{4} n \rho_0 l^3}.μ=4π​nρ0​l3​.

This matches Option B.

Note: The magnetic moment is constant in magnitude and directed along the axis of rotation, so its time average is the same value.
