The orbital magnetic moment associated with orbiting electron of charge ' \(\mathrm{e}\) ' is

  1. A inversely proportional to angular momentum
  2. B directly proportional to mass of electron
  3. C directly proportional to angular momentum
  4. D inversely proportional to charge on electron
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) directly proportional to angular momentum

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\therefore \quad\) Orbital magnetic moment:
\(M_0=\frac{-e}{2 m_e} L\)
\(\therefore \quad\) The orbital magnetic moment is directly proportional to angular momentum \(\mathrm{L}\) of the electron
