The correct answer is: μ0eω4πr

Magnetic field at the centre of circular loop.

B=μ0l2r    ...i

Period of revolution of electron, where ω= angular velocity of electron

T=2πω

where, ω= angular velocity of electron.

Current produced due to movement of electron,

I=eT=e2πω=eω2π

On substituting the value of I in Eq. (i), we get

B=μ02r·eω2π

B=μ0eω4πr
