If an electron has an orbital angular momentum with magnitude L the magnitude of the orbital contribution to its magnetic dipole moment is given by:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The magnitude of the orbital contribution to the electron's magnetic dipole moment is given by μ = (e/2m)L, where e is the charge of the electron, m is its mass, and L is the magnitude of its orbital angular momentum. Therefore, the correct choice is B.
