An electron moving in a circular orbit of radius r makes n rotations per second. The magnetic field produced at the centre has magnitude
- 0 n2 er
- 0 n e2r
- 0 n e2 r
- Zero
Answer
(2) 0 n e2r
Solution
Charge e passes any point of the orbit n times per second, so the equivalent current is
I = eT = ne
Field at the centre of a circular current loop: B = 0 I2r
B = 0 n e2r
Answer: (2)
