Question

The z-component of angular momentum of an electron due to its spin is given as :

• A. m${}_s$(h/4$\pi$)
• B. m${}_s$(h/2$\pi$)
• C. m${}_s$(h/8$\pi$)
• D. m${}_s$(h/16$\pi$)

Answer 1

The correct option is B m${}_s$(h/2$\pi$)

Angular momentum of an electron due to its spin is given as $\sqrt{s(s+1)}$(h/2$\pi$) and z-component of angular momentum of an electron due to its spin is given as m${}_s$(h/2$\pi$).
