Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum
In the Bohr model, an electron moves in a circular orbit around the nucleus. Considering an orbiting electron to be a circular current loop, the magnetic moment of the hydrogen atom, when the electron is in nth excited state, is
(e = electronic charge, m = mass of the electron, h = Planck's constant)
Show answer and solution
Answer: (d)
- Bohr:
- , so the answer is (d).
