The ratio of the magnetic dipole moment to the angular momentum of the electron in the 1st orbit of hydrogen atom is

  1. A \(\frac{m}{e}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{e}}{2 \mathrm{~m}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{e}}{\mathrm{m}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2 m}{e}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\mathrm{e}}{2 \mathrm{~m}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, L = mvr
and \(\mathrm{M}=\mathrm{IA}=\frac{\mathrm{ev}}{2 \pi \mathrm{r}} \times \pi \mathrm{r}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{evr}\)
\[
\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{M}}{\mathrm{L}}=\frac{\mathrm{e}}{2 \mathrm{~m}}
\]
