Question

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

• A. \(\vec{\mu L}\)=\(\frac{\vec{eL}}{2m}\)
• B. \(\vec{\mu L}\)=\(-\frac{\vec{eL}}{2m}\)
• C. \(\vec{\mu L}\)=−\(\frac{\vec{eL}}{m}\)
• D. \(\vec{\mu L}\)=\(\frac{\vec{2eL}}{m}\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

∵ \(\vec{\mu }\)=\(\frac{\vec{qL}}{2m}\)
\(\vec{\mu }\)=\(-\frac{\vec{eL}}{2m}\)
