In a classic model of the hydrogen atom, the electron moves around the proton in a circular orbit of radius0.053nm.

a. What is the electron's orbital frequency?

b. What is the effective current of the electron?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The electron's orbital frequency is6.56×1015Hz

b. The effective current of the electron is 1.05mA.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (Part a)

Hydrogen atom circular orbit of the radius is0.053nm.

02

Explanation (Part a)

The centripetal force is the electrostatic one, then

ke2R2=F=mÓ¬2R

The angular frequency is just Ó¬=2Ï€f,

ke2R2=F=4Ï€2mf2R

Rearrange for the frequency as,

f2=ke24Ï€2mR3,

The frequency will be given by

f=e2Ï€kmR3

Substituting the values,

f=1.6⋅10−19C2π9×1099.1×10−31kg⋅5.3⋅10−11m3

=6.56â‹…1015Hz

03

Final Answer (Part a)

Hence, the hydrogen atom circular orbit of the radius is6.56×1015Hz.

04

Given Information (Part b) 

Hydrogen atom circular orbit of the radius is0.053nm.

05

Explanation (Part b) 

In one second, the effective current is equal to the frequency times the elementary charge, and this is the total charge that is passed.

That is,

qeff=fe=6.56×1015Hz×1.6×10-19C

qeff=1.05×10-3A.

06

Final Answer (Part b) 

The effective current of the electron is1.0mA.

Is FIGURE Q27.4 a possible surface charge distribution for a current-carrying wire? If so, in which direction is the current? If not, why not?

72. You've decided to protect your house by placing a 5.0-m-tall iron lightning rod next to the house. The top is sharpened to a point and the bottom is in good contact with the ground. From your research, you've learned that lightning bolts can carry up to 50kAof current and last up to 50μs.

a. How much charge is delivered by a lightning bolt with these parameters?
b. You don't want the potential difference between the top and bottom of the lightning rod to exceed 100V. What minimum diameter must the rod have?.

a. How many conduction electrons are there in a 1.0mmdiameter gold wire that is 10cmlong?

b. How far must the sea of electrons in the wire move to deliver -32nCof charge to an electrode?

The conducting path between the right hand and the left hand can be modeled as a 10-cm-diameter, 160-cm-long cylinder. The average resistivity of the interior of the human body is 5.0 Ω m. Dry skin has a much higher resistivity, but skin resistance can be made negligible by soaking the hands in salt water. If skin resistance is neglected, what potential difference between the hands is needed for a lethal shock of 100 mA across the chest? Your result shows that even small potential differences can produce dangerous currents when the skin is wet.
