Question
Class 12PhysicsMagnetism

The electron in a hydrogen atom is moving with a spared of 2.3 ×106ms–1 in an orbit of radius 0.53Å. Calculate the magnetic moment of revolving electron.

Verified Answer

Here, v = 2.3 × 106 ms-1

r = 0.53Å = 0.53 × 10-10m, M = ?

M = IA = I. (πr²)

= 1.105 × 10-3 × 3.14 (0.53 × 10-10)²       

= 9.75 × 10-24 Am²
