An electron with angular momentum L moving around the nucleus has amagnetic moment given by(a) e L/ 2m (b) e L/3m (c) e L /4m (d) e L / m
Question
An electron with angular momentum L moving around the nucleus has amagnetic moment given by(a) e L/ 2m (b) e L/3m (c) e L /4m (d) e L / m
Solution
The magnetic moment (μ) of an electron moving around the nucleus is given by the equation:
μ = -eL/2m
Here, e is the charge of the electron, L is the angular momentum, and m is the mass of the electron.
So, the correct answer is (a) eL/2m.
