Current Loop as a Magnetic Dipole

An electron (e)(e) is revolving in a circular orbit of radius rr in hydrogen atom. The angular momentum of the electron is (M=M = magnetic dipole moment associated with it and m=m = mass of electron)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Orbiting electron: M=e2mLM = \frac{e}{2m}L.
  2. L=2mMeL = \frac{2mM}{e}
  3. So the answer is (c).
