Question : 26
Total: 37
Use Bohr's model of hydrogen atom to obtain the relationship between the angular momentum and the magnetic moment of revolving electron.
Solution:  
In Bohr model of Hydrogen atom, electron is modeled as a point negative charge rotating in a circular orbit about a fixed axis about a nucleus.
Magnetic moment ML
Let us consider
r= radius of the orbit
v= velocity
e= charge of electron
m= mass of electron
Time period (T)=‌

The magnetic moment due to a current loop enclosing an area A is given by:
