Undergrad Radiative collapse of an electron in a classical atom
Thanks for the tip! I've read also that electron should fall onto the nucleus in 10-11 seconds. But since it the energy of only one full rotation with respect to the whole energy (kinetic) then I didn't think of it as a fault right away. I will check it once more. //edit: just to be clear my...- LauritsT

Undergrad Radiative collapse of an electron in a classical atom
Thanks! So very roughly speaking, the overallenergy that the electron should have is K~ e2 and the energy lost per revolution is E~ e5 / (m3/2 * r * c3). So since the energy lost per revolution is much smaller (~1030 times smaller) then the approach works. In the case when dE/dt is large: the...- LauritsT

Undergrad Radiative collapse of an electron in a classical atom
Hello! How do I find how much energy does electron radiate during one revolution if the energy radiation rate is given by Larmor Formula: dE /dt = [(− 2/3)* e2* a2]/ c3. Should I use the chain rule? At the moment I only want a hint how to solve this. With best regards- LauritsT
