Question
Using Bohr model, calculate the electric current created by the electron when the H-atom is in the ground state.

Solution
The equivalent electric current due to rotation of charge is given by `i = Q/T = Q(1/T) = Q xx f`, where `f` is the frequency.
In a Hydrogen atom, an electron in the ground state revolves in a circular orbit whose radius is equal to the Bohr radius (a0). Let the velocity of the electron is v.
∴ Number of revolutions per unit time `f = (2πa_0)/v`
The electric current is given by i = Q of, if Q charge flows in time T. Here, Q = e.
The electric current is given by `i = e((2πa_0)/v) = (2πa_0)/v e`.
