Q.
The electron in a hydrogen atom circles around the proton in $1.5941 \times 10^{- 18}$s. The equivalent current due to motion of the electrons is
A) 127.37 mA
B) 122.49 mA
C) 100.37 mA
D) 94.037 mA
Explanation
(c) The equivalent current due to motion of electrons is given by
$I = \frac{e}{t} = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{- 19}}{1.594 \times 10^{- 18}}$
$= 1.0037 \times 10^{- 1}$
$= 100.37 \times 10^{- 3}A$
$= 100.37mA$
