In Bohr's atomic model, the electron is assumed to revolve in a circular orbit of radius 0.5 $$\mathring{A}$$. If the speed of electron is $$2.2 \times 10^6$$ m s$$^{-1}$$. Then the current associated with the electron will be _________ $$\times 10^{-2}$$ mA. [Take $$\pi$$ as $$\frac{22}{7}$$]
Correct Answer: 112
For a single revolving charge, current is defined as
$$I = \dfrac{\text{charge}}{\text{time period}}$$
The electron carries charge $$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,\text{C}$$.
If the electron moves in a circular orbit of radius $$r$$ with linear speed $$v$$, its time period is
$$T = \dfrac{\text{circumference}}{\text{speed}} = \dfrac{2\pi r}{v}$$
Substituting this in the current formula:
$$I = \dfrac{e}{T} = \dfrac{e v}{2\pi r} \quad\; -(1)$$
Given data:
$$r = 0.5\,\text{\AA} = 0.5 \times 10^{-10}\,\text{m}$$
$$v = 2.2 \times 10^{6}\,\text{m s}^{-1}$$
$$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,\text{C}$$
$$\pi = \dfrac{22}{7}$$
Insert the numerical values into equation $$(1)$$:
$$I = \dfrac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(2.2 \times 10^{6})}{2\left(\dfrac{22}{7}\right)(0.5 \times 10^{-10})}$$
Simplify the denominator first:
$$2 \left(\dfrac{22}{7}\right)(0.5 \times 10^{-10}) = \dfrac{22}{7} \times 10^{-10} = 3.142857 \times 10^{-10}$$
Simplify the numerator:
$$(1.6 \times 2.2) \times 10^{-19+6} = 3.52 \times 10^{-13}$$
Divide numerator by denominator:
$$I = \dfrac{3.52 \times 10^{-13}}{3.142857 \times 10^{-10}} = 1.12 \times 10^{-3}\,\text{A}$$
Convert amperes to milliamperes (1 mA = 10-3 A):
$$I = 1.12\,\text{mA}$$
Express $$1.12\,\text{mA}$$ in the form $$N \times 10^{-2}\,\text{mA}$$:
$$1.12\,\text{mA} = 112 \times 10^{-2}\,\text{mA}$$
Therefore, the required number is 112.
