Show that the magnetic dipole moment of an electron orbiting in a hydrogen atom is proportional to its angular momentum, $L: \mu=-e L /(2 m)$, where $-e$ is the charge of the electron and $m$ is its mass.
Show that the magnetic dipole moment $\mu$ of an electron orbiting the proton nucleus of a hydrogen atom is related to the orbital momentum $L$ of the electron by $\mu=\frac{e}{2 m} L$
