The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will address each part of the question sequentially. ### Given Data: - Speed of the electron, \( v = 2.2 \times 10^6 \, \text{m/s} \) - Radius of the orbit, \( r = 5.3 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{m} \) - Charge of the electron, \( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \) ### (a) Find the orbital period of the electron. The orbital period \( T \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ T = \frac{2 \pi r}{v} \] Substituting the values: \[ T = \frac{2 \pi (5.3 \times 10^{-11})}{2.2 \times 10^6} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ 2 \pi (5.3 \times 10^{-11}) \approx 3.34 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \] Now, dividing by the speed: \[ T = \frac{3.34 \times 10^{-10}}{2.2 \times 10^6} \approx 1.52 \times 10^{-16} \, \text{s} \] Thus, the orbital period of the electron is: \[ \boxed{1.52 \times 10^{-16} \, \text{s}} \] ### (b) Find the current \( I \) due to the orbiting electron. The current \( I \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ I = \frac{e}{T} \] Substituting the values: \[ I = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{1.52 \times 10^{-16}} \] Calculating the current: \[ I \approx 1.05 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{A} \] Thus, the current is: \[ \boxed{1.05 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{A}} \] ### (c) Find the magnetic moment \( \mu \) of the atom due to the motion of the electron. The magnetic moment \( \mu \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \mu = I \cdot A \] where \( A \) is the area of the circular orbit, given by: \[ A = \pi r^2 \] Calculating the area: \[ A = \pi (5.3 \times 10^{-11})^2 \approx 8.84 \times 10^{-21} \, \text{m}^2 \] Now substituting the values to find the magnetic moment: \[ \mu = (1.05 \times 10^{-3}) \cdot (8.84 \times 10^{-21}) \] Calculating the magnetic moment: \[ \mu \approx 9.29 \times 10^{-24} \, \text{A m}^2 \] Thus, the magnetic moment of the atom is: \[ \boxed{9.29 \times 10^{-24} \, \text{A m}^2} \]
