Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

In the Bohr model an electron moves in a circular orbit around the proton. Considering the orbiting electron to be a circular current loop, the magnetic moment of the hydrogen atom, when the electron is in nthn^{th} excited state, is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. M=IA=ev2πr⋅πr2=e2m(mvr)M = IA = \frac{ev}{2\pi r}\cdot\pi r^2 = \frac{e}{2m}(mvr)
  2. Bohr: mvr=nh2πmvr = \frac{nh}{2\pi}
  3. M=(e2m)nh2πM = \left(\frac{e}{2m}\right)\frac{nh}{2\pi}, so the answer is (c).
