Homework Statement


A rather simplistic model of the hydrogen atom has a single electron revolving around a nuclear proton with an orbital radius of 5.40E-9 m at a speed of 5.00E+6 m/s. Determine the magnetic field at the proton due to the electron.

Homework Equations



B=u0*I/2piR

I=Q/t

V/R=2pif

f=1/T


The Attempt at a Solution



I tried to do V/R to get the angular frequency, converted to frequency then period. Take the period and divide it by the charge of an electrons. After putting the current in the formula, I got 0.000873 T, but it's wrong... any suggestions?

Your formula for B is for a long straight wire.
Use the formula for B at the center of a current loop.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
