The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the equivalent electric current produced by an electron revolving in a circular path. We can use the formula for electric current, which is defined as the rate of flow of charge. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Radius of the circular path, \( r = 0.5 \) Å (angstrom) = \( 0.5 \times 10^{-10} \) m (since \( 1 \) Å = \( 10^{-10} \) m) - Frequency of revolution, \( f = 5 \times 10^{15} \) cycles/sec - Charge of an electron, \( Q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \) C (coulombs) 2. **Recall the formula for electric current**: The electric current \( I \) can be expressed as: \[ I = \frac{Q}{T} \] where \( T \) is the time period of one complete cycle. However, we can also express current in terms of frequency: \[ I = Q \cdot f \] because frequency \( f \) is the reciprocal of the time period \( T \) (i.e., \( f = \frac{1}{T} \)). 3. **Substitute the values into the formula**: Now, we can substitute the values of \( Q \) and \( f \) into the equation: \[ I = (1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C}) \cdot (5 \times 10^{15} \, \text{cycles/sec}) \] 4. **Calculate the current**: \[ I = 1.6 \times 5 \times 10^{-19} \times 10^{15} \] \[ I = 8 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{A} \] 5. **Convert the current to milliampere**: Since \( 1 \, \text{mA} = 10^{-3} \, \text{A} \): \[ I = 8 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{A} = 0.8 \, \text{mA} \] ### Final Answer: The equivalent electric current is \( 0.8 \, \text{mA} \).
