Chapter 16, Problem 16.3E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The difference in the magnitude calculated in Example $16.\text{2b}$ for the magnetic dipole caused by an electron in the hydrogen atom when the electron has a positive charge is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The dipole moment is defined as the charge separation between two atoms or ions. It is used to determine the polarity of atoms or ions.

The magnetic dipole, $\mu$ is calculated by the formula shown below.

$\mu =I\times A$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The overall magnetic dipole caused by the two particles in mutual orbit about each other is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The dipole moment is defined as the charge separation between two atoms or ions. It is used to determine the polarity of atoms or ions.

The magnetic dipole, $\mu$ is calculated by the formula shown below.

$\mu =I\times A$
