  4. D1.8×10−23 A m21.8 \times 10^{-23} \text{ A m}^2

Correct answer

C. 9.2×10−24 A m29.2 \times 10^{-24} \text{ A m}^2

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic dipole moment of an electron in the nn-th orbit of a hydrogen atom is given by M=evr2M = \dfrac{e v r}{2}.

From Bohr's quantization condition, the angular momentum is L=mevr=nh2πL = m_e v r = \dfrac{n h}{2 \pi}.

Thus, vr=nh2πmev r = \dfrac{n h}{2 \pi m_e}.

Substituting this into the expression for magnetic moment:

M=e2(nh2πme)=neh4πmeM = \dfrac{e}{2} \left( \dfrac{n h}{2 \pi m_e} \right) = \dfrac{n e h}{4 \pi m_e}

For the ground state, n=1n = 1.

M=eh4πmeM = \dfrac{e h}{4 \pi m_e}

Substituting the standard values e=1.6×10−19 Ce = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}, h=6.63×10−34 J sh = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \text{ J s}, and me=9.1×10−31 kgm_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}:

M=1.6×10−19×6.63×10−344×3.14×9.1×10−31M = \dfrac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31}}

M≈9.27×10−24 A m2M \approx 9.27 \times 10^{-24} \text{ A m}^2
