The correct Answer is:
To find the magnetic dipole moment (M) of an electron revolving in a circular orbit, we can use the formula: \[ M = \frac{Q \cdot V \cdot R}{2} \] where: - \( Q \) is the charge of the electron, - \( V \) is the velocity of the electron, - \( R \) is the radius of the orbit. ### Step 1: Identify the values - The charge of the electron \( Q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \) C (Coulombs). - The velocity of the electron \( V = 2.2 \times 10^6 \) m/s. - The radius of the orbit \( R = 0.5 \) Å (angstrom), which is \( 0.5 \times 10^{-10} \) m. ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula Substituting the values into the formula for magnetic dipole moment: \[ M = \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19}) \cdot (2.2 \times 10^6) \cdot (0.5 \times 10^{-10})}{2} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the numerator First, calculate the product of the values in the numerator: \[ 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \cdot 2.2 \times 10^6 \cdot 0.5 \times 10^{-10} \] Calculating step-by-step: 1. Calculate \( 1.6 \times 2.2 = 3.52 \). 2. Now multiply by \( 0.5 = 3.52 \times 0.5 = 1.76 \). 3. Combine the powers of ten: \( 10^{-19} \cdot 10^6 \cdot 10^{-10} = 10^{-23} \). So, we have: \[ 1.76 \times 10^{-23} \] ### Step 4: Divide by 2 Now, divide the result by 2: \[ M = \frac{1.76 \times 10^{-23}}{2} = 0.88 \times 10^{-23} = 8.8 \times 10^{-24} \text{ A m}^2 \] ### Final Result Thus, the magnetic dipole moment of the revolving electron is: \[ M = 8.8 \times 10^{-24} \text{ A m}^2 \]
