An electron in a circular orbit of radius $0.05 \ nm$ performs $10^{16}$ revolutions per second. The magnetic moment due to this rotation of the electron is (in $A \ m^{2}$):

  • A
    $2.16 \times 10^{-23}$
  • B
    $3.21 \times 10^{-22}$
  • C
    $3.21 \times 10^{-24}$
  • D
    $1.26 \times 10^{-23}$
