Q.
In an atom electrons revolves around the nucleus along a path of radius 0.72A˚ making 9.4×1018 revolution per second. The equivalent current is (e=1.6×10−19C)
Radius of electron orbit r=0.72A˚=0.72×10−10m
Frequency of revolution of electron in orbit of given atom υ=9.4×1018 rev/s
(where T is time period of revolution of electron in orbit) ∴ Then equivalent current is I=Te=eυ=1.6×10−19×9.4×1018 =1.504A
