.Derive an expression for the magnetic dipole moment of a revolving electron and
hence define Bohr magneton.

Dear Student
Bohr's magneton is a  physical constant which expresses the magnetic moment of electron in terms of orbital or spin angular momentum
let electron of mass m and charge e revolving around the nucleusthen M=iA=eT×πr2=e2πrv×πr2=ev×πr22πr=evr2...1>L(angular momentum)=mvr=nhmvr=1×hv=hmr...2>now putting the value of v in eq 1 we getM=ehmrr2=eh2mRegards
