The Bohr magneton is given by(a) eh/2m(b) eh/2πm(c) eh/4m(d) eh/4πmThe question was asked by my school principal while I was bunking the class.Question is taken from Magnetic Dipole topic in division Magnetic Forces and Materials of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer»

The correct choice is (d) eh/4πm

The best I can explain: In atomic physics, the Bohr magneton (symbol μB) is a PHYSICAL CONSTANT and the natural unit for expressing the magnetic moment of an ELECTRON caused by either its orbital or spin angular momentum. It is GIVEN by eh/4πm, where H is the Planck’s constant, e is the charge of the electron and m is the mass of the electron.
