Question:
Using the Bohr model, calculate the electric current created by the electron when the H-atom is in the ground state.
Solution:
Let v be the velocity of the electron
Number of revolutions per unit time = f = 2πa0/v
The electric current is given as I = Q
When change Q flows in time T
Such that Q = e
Therefore, the electric current is given as I = 2πa0/v e
