(b) If the electron moves in a horizontal circle, counterclockwise as seen from above, what is the direction of this magnetic moment vector?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

The magnetic moment of a current carrying conductor is calculated from the current flowing through it and the area of the loop. It is equal to the product of current and area. Its direction is calculated by the right hand thumb rule.
