Question

The gyromagnetic ratio of an electron in an $H-$atom, according to Bohr model, is:-

• A. Independent of which orbit it is in
• B. Negative
• C. Positive
• D. Increase with the quantum number $n$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Negative

$\begin{array}{c}\text{we know that the -}\\ \text{Gyromagnetic Ratio =}\frac{q}{2m}\\ \text{Since, the electron carries a negative charge.}\\ \text{Hence, the gyromagnetic ratio will be negative .}\end{array}$
