Detailed Solution

As revolving charge is equivalent to a current loop, so electric current corresponds to the revolution of electron is I=q  f=q  ×  ω2π

But ω=vR, where R is radius of circle and v is uniform speed of charged particle. 

Therefore, I=qv2πR

Now, magnetic moment associated with charged particle is given by

or      μ=qv2πR  ×  πR2=12  qvR
