An electron moving around the nucleus with an angular momenturm l has a magnetic moment

A

`(e)/(m)l`

B

`(e)/(2m)l`

C

`(2e)/(m)l`

D

`(e)/(2pim)l`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
An electron moving around the nucleus has a magnetic moment `mu` is iven by `mu=(e)/(2m)l`
Where , l is the magnitude of the angluar momentum of the circulating electron around the nucleus. The smallest value of `mu` is called the bohr magneton `mu_(B)` and its value is
`mu_(B)=9.27xx10^(24)JT^(-1).`
