In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron in the 3rd excited state moves at a speed of 2.43 105 m/s in a circular path of radius 4.76 10-10 m. What is the effective current associated with this orbiting electron

Sagot :

Answer:

Current =,charge / time

Charge = e = 1.6E-19 coulombs

t = T time for 1 revolution  (period)

v = S / T = distance traveled in 1 revolution / time for 1 revolution

T = S / v = 2 pi * 4.76E-10 / 2.43E5 = 1.23E-14

I = Q / T = 1.6E-19 / 1.23E-14 = 1.30E-5
