In the Bohr model,an electron of mass $m$ moves in a circular orbit around the proton. Considering the orbiting electron as a circular current loop,find the magnetic moment of the hydrogen atom when the electron is in the $n$th orbit. (Assume $h$ is Planck's constant)

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