Q.
An electron in a circular orbit of radius .05 nm performs 1016 revolutions per second. The magnetic moment due to this rotation of electron is (in Am2)
Given, r=0.05nm=0.05×10−9m (∵1nm=10−9m) n=1016 revolutions e=1.6×10−19C
We know that
The magnetic moment M=Ai M=πr2×ne M=3.14×(0.05×10−9)2×1016×1.6×10−19 M=0.1256×10−18×1016×10−19
or M=1.26×10−23Am2
