Options
- Ainversely proportional to angular momentum
- Bdirectly proportional to mass of electron
- Cdirectly proportional to angular momentum
- Dinversely proportional to charge on electron
Correct answer
C. directly proportional to angular momentum
Step-by-step solution
Orbital magnetic moment: M₀= -e 2 m_e L The orbital magnetic moment is directly proportional to angular momentum L of the electron
