An electron in a circular orbit of radius 0.05 mm performs 10^(16) revolutions per second. The magnetic moment due to this rotation of electron is ("in Am"^(2))

Answer»

`2.16 xx 10^(-23)`
`3.21 xx 10^(-22)`
`3.21 xx 10^(24)`
`1.26 xx 10^(-23)`

Solution :Here, radius of the orbit, r = 0.05nm
`= 0.05 xx 10^(-9)m`
Frequency, `v = 10^(16)rev//s`
The electron moving in a orbit behaves as a CURRENT loop.
The current due to orbit MOTION of electron is
`I = ev`
Area of the loop, `A = pir^(2)`
`therefore` Magnetic moment of the loop, `M = IA = evpur^(2)`
`therefore M = 1.6 xx 10^(-19) xx 10^(16) xx 3.14 xx (0.05 xx 10^(-9))^(2)`
`= 0.0126 xx 10^(-21) Am^(2) = 1.26 xx 10^(-23)A m^(2)`
