The magnetic moment of an electron $(e)$ revolving in an orbit around a nucleus with an orbital angular momentum $\vec{L}$ is given by:

  • A
    $\vec{\mu}_{L} = \frac{e \vec{L}}{2m}$
  • B
    $\vec{\mu}_{L} = -\frac{e \vec{L}}{2m}$
  • C
    $\vec{\mu}_{L} = -\frac{e \vec{L}}{m}$
  • D
    $\vec{\mu}_{L} = \frac{2e \vec{L}}{m}$
