In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, in the lowest energy state the electron orbits the proton at a speed of 2.2 x 106 m/s in a circular orbit of radius 5.3 x 10-11 m. (a) What is the orbital period of the electron? (b) If the orbiting electron is considered to be a current loop, what is the current I? (c) What is the magnetic moment of the atom due to the motion of the electron?
