In the Bohr model,an electron moves in a circular orbit around the nucleus. Considering an orbiting electron to be a circular current loop,the magnetic moment of the hydrogen atom,when the electron is in the $n^{th}$ excited state,is ($e=$ electronic charge,$m_{e}=$ mass of the electron,$h=$ Planck's constant).

  • A
    $\left(\frac{e}{m_{e}}\right) \frac{nh}{2 \pi}$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{e}{m_{e}}\right) \frac{n^2 h}{2 \pi}$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{e}{2 m_{e}}\right) \frac{n^2 h}{2 \pi}$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{e}{2 m_{e}}\right) \frac{nh}{2 \pi}$
