The correct Answer is:
To find the velocity of the electron in the hydrogen atom, we can follow these steps:
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Identify the Forces Acting on the Electron**:
- In a hydrogen atom, the electron is attracted to the nucleus (proton) by the electrostatic force. This force can be expressed using Coulomb's law.
2. **Electrostatic Force Calculation**:
- The electrostatic force \( F \) between the electron and the nucleus is given by:
\[
F = \frac{e^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}
\]
where:
- \( e \) is the charge of the electron (and also the charge of the nucleus for hydrogen, since \( Z = 1 \)),
- \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of vacuum,
- \( r \) is the radius of the orbit.
3. **Centrifugal Force**:
- When the electron is in circular motion, it experiences a centrifugal force, which can be expressed as:
\[
F_{\text{centrifugal}} = \frac{mv^2}{r}
\]
where:
- \( m \) is the mass of the electron,
- \( v \) is the velocity of the electron.
4. **Equate the Forces**:
- For the electron to be in stable orbit, the electrostatic force must equal the centrifugal force:
\[
\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{e^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}
\]
5. **Rearranging the Equation**:
- Multiply both sides by \( r \) to eliminate \( r \) from the left side:
\[
mv^2 = \frac{e^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r}
\]
6. **Solving for \( v^2 \)**:
- Rearranging gives:
\[
v^2 = \frac{e^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 m r}
\]
7. **Finding Velocity \( v \)**:
- Taking the square root of both sides to find \( v \):
\[
v = \sqrt{\frac{e^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 m r}} = \frac{e}{\sqrt{4 \pi \epsilon_0 m r}}
\]
### Final Result:
Thus, the velocity of the electron in the hydrogen atom is given by:
\[
v = \frac{e}{\sqrt{4 \pi \epsilon_0 m r}}
\]
