Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

Magnetic field at the centre of the hydrogen atom due to motion of electron in nnth orbit is proportional to

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. B=μ0I2rB = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2r}, with I=ev2πrI = \frac{ev}{2\pi r}.
  2. v∝n−1v \propto n^{-1}, r∝n2r \propto n^2, so I∝n−3I \propto n^{-3}.
  3. B∝n−3n2=n−5B \propto \frac{n^{-3}}{n^2} = n^{-5}
  4. So the answer is (d) n−5n^{-5}.
