JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 12. atoms

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)

  1. A \(n^{-4}\)
  2. B \(n^{-5}\)
  3. C \(n^{-3}\)
  4. D \(n^{-2}\)
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 \(B \propto n^{-2}\)
