The angular momentum of the electron moving around the nucleus in a circular orbit of radius `r` is given by

A

`m_(e)vr`

B

`m_(e)v//r`

C

`m_(e)vr^(2)`

D

`m_(e)v//r^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Just as linear momentum is the product of mass `(m)` and linear velocity `(V)`, angular momentum is the product of moment of inertia `(I)` and angular velocity `(omega)`. For an electron of mass `m_(e)` moving in a circular orbit of radius `r` around the nucleus,
Angular momenutm `= I xx omega`
Since `I = m_(e)r^(2)` and `omega = v//r`, where `v` is the linear velocity,
Angular momentum `= m_(e)r^(2) xx (v)/(r) = m_(e)vr`
