An electron (charge , mass ) is revolving around a fixed proton in a circular path of radius . The magnetic field at the center due to the electron is?

 

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

The magnetic field at the center of a circular loop of radius carrying current is given by:

The current due to the electron is given by , where is the time period of revolution. Also, , where is the velocity of the electron. Therefore, .

We need to find . The electrostatic force between the electron and proton provides the centripetal force for the circular motion:

Substituting this value of into the expression for :

 

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Final Answer: The final answer is
