An electron makes 3 × 105 revolutions per second in a circle of radius 0.5 angstrom. Find the magnetic field B at the centre of the circle.

no of revolutions = 3 × 105


radius = 0.5 angstrom = 5×10−11 m


Thus, the magnetic field at the centre due to the current in the loop is given by


We know that,



Here n=1,


I= =


and r= 5×10−11 m


Hence,
