An electron in an atom is revolving round the nucleus in a circular orbit of radius 5.3 xx 10^(-11)m, with a speed of 2 xx 10^(6) ms^(-1). The resultant orbital magnetic moment and angular momentum of the electron is ...... Take charge of electron = 1.6 xx 10^(-19) C, mass of electron = 9.1 xx 10^(-31) kg.

Solution :The current FLOWING in circular path of electron with frequency f is `I= fe`
But `f= (omega)/( 2pi ) "" therefore I= (omega e)/( 2pi) `
but `omega = (v)/( r)`
`therefore I= (ve)/( 2pi r)`
`m= IA`
`= (ve)/(2pi r)xx pi r^(2) `
`= (1)/(2) ver`
`= (1)/(2) xx 2 10^(6) xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19 ) xx 5.3 xx 10^(-11)`
`= 8.48 xx 10^(-24) "Am"^(2)`
ANGULAR momentum `L=pr`
`-m_(e) vr ""("where" p = mv)`
`L= 9.1 xx 10^(-31) xx 2 xx 10^(6) xx 5.3 xx 10^(-11)`
`= 96.46 xx 10^(-36) `
`therefore L= 9.65 xx 10^(-35)` Nms
