Problem

In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, in its lowest-energy state, the electron revolves around the proton at a speed of

2.2\times10^6\,\text{m s}^{-1}

in a circular orbit of radius

5.3\times10^{-11}\,\text{m}

. (1) What is the orbital period of the electron? (2) If the orbiting electron is considered to be a current loop, what is the current

I

? (3) What is the magnetic moment of the atom due to the motion of the electron?
