The electron in a hydrogen atom circles around the proton with a speed of `2*18xx10^6ms^-1` in an orbit of radius `5*3xx10^-11m`. Calcualte (a) the equivalent current (b) magnetic field produced at the proton. Given charge on electron `1*6xx10^-19C` and `mu_0=4pixx10^-7TmA^-1`.

Answer» Here, `v=2*18xx10^6ms^-1`,
`r=5*3xx10^-11m`, `e=1*6xx10^-19C`.
(a) Time period of revolution of electron is given by,
`T=(2pir)/(v)=(2pixx5*3xx10^-11)/(2*18xx10^6)=1*528xx10^-16s`
Equivalent current, `I=(charg e)/(time)=e/T`
`=(1*6xx10^-19)/(1*528xx10^-16)=1*05xx10^-3A`
(b) `B=(mu_0)/(4pi)(2piI)/(r)=(10^-7xx2pixx1*05xx10^-3)/(5*3xx10^-11)`
`=12*4T`
