The correct answer is: $1 \times 10^{-23}$
Current, $I=6.6 \times 10^{15} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}$
$=10.5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~A} .$
Area $A=\pi R^{2}=3.142 \times(0.528)^{2} \times 10^{-20} \mathrm{~m}^{2}$
So, Magnetic moment $M=I A=10.5 \times 10^{-4} \times 3.142$
$\begin{aligned} \times(0.528)^{2} \times 10^{-20} & \\=& 10 \times 10^{-24}=10^{-23} \text { units } \end{aligned}$
