Magnetic Moment of the Hydrogen Atom In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom (see Section 38.5), in the lowest energy state the electron orbits the proton at a speed of 2.2 X 106 m/sin a circular orbit of radius 5.3 X 10-11 m.
(a) What is the orbital period of the electron?
(b) If the orbiting electron is considered to be a current loop, what is the current I?
(c) What is the magnetic moment of the atom due to the motion of the electron?
