What is the magnetic moment of an electron orbiting in a circular orbit of radius r with a speed v?

A

`evr/2`

B

evr

C

`(er)/(2v)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Magnetic moment M = NiA
Where, N=numberof turns of the current loop and i=current. Since, the orbiting electron behaves as a current loop of current I, we can write
`i=e/T = e/((2piv)/v)= (ev)/(2pir)`
