If is the orbital radius and & is the orbital velocity of an electron in a hydrogen atom, then its magnetic dipole moment is

Options
- A
&

- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The magnetic dipole moment of a revolving electron: The electron of change (−e) performs uniforms circular motion around a stationary& heavy nucleus of charge +Ze. This constitutes a current I.

...(i)
Where, T is the time period of revolution. Let r be the orbital radius of electron and v the orbital speed. Then
...(ii)
Substituting the value of T in (i), we get
The magnetic moment (m) associated with this circular current is
