Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

The angle made by orbital angular momentum of electron with the direction of the orbital magnetic moment is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. μ⃗=−e2mL⃗\vec{\mu} = -\frac{e}{2m}\vec{L}: the electron is negative, so its current is opposite to its motion.
  2. Hence μ⃗\vec{\mu} and L⃗\vec{L} are antiparallel.
  3. So the answer is (c) 180∘180^\circ.
