Determine the magnetic dipole moment associated with the motion of the electron in a hydrogen atom's ground state.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The magnetic dipole moment of an electron in the -th orbit of a hydrogen atom is given by .
From Bohr's quantization condition, the angular momentum is .
