Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

The magnetic moment of an electron (e) revolving in an orbit around nucleus with an orbital angular momentum is given by:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. μ=IA=e2mL\mu = IA = \frac{e}{2m}L in magnitude.
  2. Electron charge is −e-e, so μ⃗L\vec{\mu}_L is opposite to L⃗\vec{L}.
  3. So the answer is (b) μ⃗L=−eL⃗2m\vec{\mu}_L = -\frac{e\vec{L}}{2m}.
