QUESTION:
Problem 16P
Find the magnitude of the force exerted on an electron in the ground-state orbit of the Bohr model.
ANSWER:
Solution 16P
Step 1 of 2
Here, we have to calculate the electrostatic force between the nucleus and the electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom.
The equation for the electrostatic force is,
Here, - Permittivity of free space
and - Charges
- Distance between the charges
