  • MCQ

According to Bohr's theory, the time averaged magnetic field at the centre (i.e. nucleus) of a hydrogen atom due to the motion of electrons in the \(n^{th}\) orbit is proportional to (\(n =\) principal quantum number)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(n^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic field at the centre of nucleus of \(\mathrm{H}\) -atom,

\(\mathrm{B}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{2 \mathrm{r}}\)    ..... \((i)\)

According to Bohr's model, radius of orbit \(r\, \propto \,{n^2}\) from eq. \((i)\) we can also write as \(B \propto n^{-2}\)
