The correct answer is: evr2
Magnetic moment of revolving electron,
μe=i×A
where, i = current and A = area,
μe=eT×πr2 (As current, i=currenttime=et )
where, T = time period of revolution and r = radius of orbit.

μe=e2πr×v×πr2
TimeperiodT=distancespeed
where, v = velocity of revolving electron
μe=evr2
Hence, the magnetic moment of revolving electron is evr2
