Using Bohr model, calculate the electric current created by the electron when the H-atom is in the ground state.

Answers (1)

 The equivalent electric current due to rotation of charge is given by

 i=\frac{Q}{T}=Q \times f, where\; f\; is\; the\; frequency

In hydrogen atom an electron in ground state revolves on a circular orbit whose radius is equal to the Bohr radius. Let the velocity of the electron is v

Number of revolution per unit time

 f=\frac{2\pi a_{0}}{v}

The electric current is given by

i=e\left ( \frac{2 \pi a_{0}}{v} \right )=\frac{2 \pi a_{0}}{v}e
