Current, Effective, This, Electron, associated, orbiting


Question by Brianna:

What is the effective current associated with this orbiting electron?





In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron in the 5th excited state moves at a speed of 8.76x10^4 m/s in a circular path having a radius of 1.32x10^-9 m.

What is the effective current associated with this orbiting electron?





I know how to find the current at the ground state, but I don't know how to find the current at the 5th energy level. Please help!

Just count the number of electrons passing a given point, or the number of times one electron passes a given point, in 1 s, then convert from electron charge to Coulombs, and the result is current in amperes.
e = 1.6022E-19 C
I = dQ/dt = e*v/(2pi*r) = 1.69226E-06 A
