AIIMS 2019 Physics Bohr Model MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

In hydrogen atom find magnetic field at centre in ground. State if Bohr’s radius is r₀ = 5×10⁻¹¹ m.

A

15.20 T

B

10.90 T

C

13.95 T

D

20.00 T

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

In a hydrogen atom, the magnetic field at the center due to the orbital motion of the electron can be calculated using the formula B=μ0I2rB = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2r}, where μ0\mu_0 is the permeability of free space, II is the current equivalent of the electron's motion, and rr is the radius (Bohr's radius r0=5×1011mr_0 = 5 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{m}). For the ground state, the current II can be derived from the electron's charge and orbital frequency, leading to a magnetic field of approximately 13.95 T, which corresponds to option C.

Options A (15.20 T), B (10.90 T), and D (20.00 T) are incorrect as they do not align with the calculated magnetic field based on the parameters of the hydrogen atom in its ground state, indicating either miscalculations or incorrect assumptions about the electron's behavior in the atom.
