    The magnetic moment \[\left( \mu  \right)\] of a revolving electron around the nucleus varies with principal quantum number n as

    A) \[\mu \propto n\]

    B) \[\mu \propto 1/n\]

    C) \[\mu \propto {{n}^{2}}\]                    

    D) \[\mu \propto 1/{{n}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    From Bohr?s model of atom, electrons can revolve only in those orbits in which their angular momentum is an integral multiple of \[h/2\pi \], where h is Planck?s universal constant. From Bohr?s postulate, \[\mu =\frac{nh}{2\pi }\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\mu \propto n\] where n is integer (= 1, 2, 3,...) and is called principal quantum number.
