The magnetic moment (`M or mu`) of a revolving electron around the nucleus varies with the principal quantum

A

`10^(-20) Am^(2)`

B

`2xx10^(-21) Am^(2)`

C

`10^(23) Am^(2)`

D

`3xx10^(-19) Am^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The magnetic moment of the revolving electron is given by `M_(0)=("neh")/(4pim_(e ))=("neh")/(4pim_(e ))`
Thus `M_(0) prop n` (the principal quantum number)
