Physics · Biot Savart law and its application to the current carrying circular loop

In hydrogen atom, an electron is revolving in the orbit of radius with radiation

In hydrogen atom, an electron is revolving in the orbit of radius \( 0.53 \dot{A} \) with \( 6.6 \times 10^{15} \) radiation/s. Magnetic field produced at the centre of the orbit is

  • A. \( 0.125 W b / m^{2} \)
  • B. \( 1.25 W b / m^{2} \)
  • C. \( 12.5 W b / m^{2} \)
  • D. \( 125 W b / m^{2} \)

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic field at the center of a circular loop due to current I is B = μ0 I / (2r). Here, current I = e f = 1.6×10^{-19} C × 6.6×10^{15} Hz = 1.056×10^{-3} A. Radius r = 0.53 Å = 0.53×10^{-10} m. Substituting μ0 = 4π×10^{-7} T·m/A gives B = (4π×10^{-7} × 1.056×10^{-3}) / (2 × 0.53×10^{-10}) ≈ 12.5 T.
