Question

Magnetic moment due to the motion of the electron in n^th orbit of Bohr atom is proportional to n^x. The value of x is

(1) 0

(2) 1

(3) 2

(4) 3

Answer 1

The correct option is (2) 1.

Magnetic moment \(\mu = \frac{e}{2m} \times L\)

Where L is the angular momentum

\(L = \frac{nh}{2\pi}\)

∴ µ ∝ n
