AIIMS 2019 Physics Bohr's Model MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
An electron is revolving in n = 3 orbit. What will be the magnetic field at the centre of hydrogen atom?
A
0.1 T
B
5 T
C
0.5 T
D
0.05 T
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The magnetic field at the center of a hydrogen atom, where an electron is revolving in the orbit, can be calculated using the formula , where is the current due to the electron's motion and is the radius of the orbit. For the orbit, the current can be derived from the electron's charge and orbital frequency, resulting in a magnetic field of approximately . Other options, such as , , and , are incorrect as they do not align with the calculated values based on the principles of electromagnetism and quantum mechanics for the hydrogen atom.
