The orbital magnetic moment associated with orbiting electron of charge ' $\mathrm{e}$ ' is

The orbital magnetic moment associated with orbiting electron of charge ' $\mathrm{e}$ ' is
  1. inversely proportional to angular momentum
  2. directly proportional to mass of electron
  3. directly proportional to angular momentum
  4. inversely proportional to charge on electron

Solution

$\therefore \quad$ Orbital magnetic moment: $M_0=\frac{-e}{2 m_e} L$ $\therefore \quad$ The orbital magnetic moment is directly proportional to angular momentum $\mathrm{L}$ of the electron
