How many electrons are in 1C of charge ?

Calculate the electrostatic force and gravitational force between the proton and the electron in a hydrogen atom. They are separated by a distance of 5.3 xx 10^(-11) m. The magnitude of charges on the electron and proton are 1.6 xx 10^(-19) C. Mass of the electron is m_(e) = 9.1 xx 10^(-31) kg and mass of proton is m_(p) = 1.6 xx 10^(-27) kg.

  • Assertion: The drift speed of electrons in metals is of the order of few mm / s and charge of an electron is very small (1.6 xx 10^(-19) C) . Yet a large amount of current is obtained. Reason: At room temperature, the thermal speed of electron is very high ( 10^7 times the drift speed). Which one of the following statements is correct?

    A
    Both assertion and reason are true and reason explains assertion correctly,
    B
    Both assertion and reason are true and reason does not explains assertion correctly.
    C
    Assertion is true and reason is false.
    D
    Assertion is false and reason is true.

    In the Bohr model of hydrogen atom, the electron is treated as a particle going in a circle with the centre at the proton. The proton itself is assumed to be fixed in an inertial frame. The centripetal force is provided by the Coloumb attraction. In the ground state, the electron goes round the proton in a circle of radius 5.3xx10^-11m . Find the speed of the electron in the ground state. Mass of the electron =9.1xx10^-31 kg and charge of the electron = 1.6xx10^-19C .
