Dual Nature Of Light Question 51

Question: The radius of the orbital of electron in the hydrogen atom 0.5 Å. The speed of the electron is $ 2\times 10^{6}m/s $ . Then the current in the loop due to the motion of the electron is [RPMT 1996]

Options:

A) 1 mA

B) 1.5 mA

C) 2.5 mA

D) $ 1.5\times {{10}^{-2}}mA $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Time period of revolution of electron $ T=\frac{2\pi }{\omega }=\frac{2\pi r}{v} $ Hence corresponding electric current $ i=\frac{e}{T}=\frac{ev}{2\pi r} $
$ \Rightarrow i=\frac{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 2\times 10^{6}}{2\times 3.14\times 0.5\times {{10}^{-10}}}=1,mA. $
