What is the magnetic moment of orbiting electron in simple hydrogen atom?
Assume e= charge of electron, me= mass of electron and L= orbital angular momentum of electron

  1. A μ=emeL
  2. B μ=e2meL
  3. C μ=2emeL
  4. D μ=e4meL
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) μ=e2meL

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When an electron is orbiting around the hydrogen nucleus then total angular momentum, L=mevr and magnetic moment, μ=iA=eTπr2  ..1, here r is the radius of the orbit, sp the time period, T=2πrv⇒2πrmerL=2meπr2L  ...2, from…
