A uniform magnetic field BB is present in a region. An electron is projected perpendicular to the field and moves in a circle. Assuming Bohr's quantization rule for angular momentum, determine the radius of the nnth orbit.

Options

  1. An2h2πeB\sqrt{\dfrac{n^2 h}{2\pi e B}}
  2. Bnh2πeB\sqrt{\dfrac{n h}{2\pi e B}}
  3. Cnh2πeBn \sqrt{\dfrac{h}{2\pi e B}}
  4. Dh2πneB\sqrt{\dfrac{h}{2\pi n e B}}

Correct answer

B. nh2πeB\sqrt{\dfrac{n h}{2\pi e B}}

Step-by-step solution

When an electron moves in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field, the magnetic force provides the necessary centripetal force.

evB=mv2re v B = \dfrac{m v^2}{r}

mv=eBrm v = e B r

According to Bohr's quantization rule, the angular momentum of the electron is an integral multiple of h2π\dfrac{h}{2\pi}.

mvr=nh2πm v r = \dfrac{n h}{2\pi}

Substituting mv=eBrm v = e B r into the quantization condition:

(eBr)r=nh2π(e B r) r = \dfrac{n h}{2\pi}

eBr2=nh2πe B r^2 = \dfrac{n h}{2\pi}

r=nh2πeBr = \sqrt{\dfrac{n h}{2\pi e B}}
