Correct answer: C. ((e)/(2 m)) (n h)/(2 π)

Magnetic moment of the hydrogen atom, when the electron is in n^ th excited state, i.e., n^ =(n+1) As magnetic moment M_ n = I _ n A=i _ n (π r_ n ^2) aligned & i_n=e V_n=(m z^2 e^5)/(4 _0^2 n^3 h^3) & r_n=(n^2 h^2)/(4 π^2 k z m e^2)(k=(1)/(4 π _0)) aligned Solving we get magnetic moment of the hydrogen atom for n^ th excited state M_ n^ =((e)/(2 m)) (n h)/(2 π)
