On what physical quantity does the magnetic moment of an electron revolving in an orbit depend ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1
The magnetic moment of an electron depends on the specific charge of electron `(e)/(m)` and angular momentum of rotation of the electron `vec(L)`.
