Question
An electron in the ground state of hydrogen
atom is revolving in anticlockwise direction in
a circular orbit of radius R (see figure).
(a) Obtain an expression for the orbital
magnetic moment of the electron.
(b) The atom is placed in a uniform magnetic
induction B such that the normal to the
AB
30°
plane of electron's orbit makes an angle of 30° with the
magnetic induction. Find the torque experienced by the
orbiting electron.
