Question

A muon is



a.Particle that has the same charge as an electron but is 200 times heavier than it . If we had an atom in which the muon resolves around a proton instead of an electron , what would be the magnetic moment of the muon in the ground state of such an atom ?

Answer 1

Magnetic moment is given as
M = er2w / 2

so, it does not depend upon the mass only on the charge. Thus, it will remain unaffected in this case.
