SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the Sommerfeld quantization condition applied to the allowable radius of a spinning electron in a uniform magnetic field. The equation derived, r = √((nh)/(2πqB)), is presented as a solution to the relationship between angular momentum and magnetic field strength. The user seeks validation of this equation, indicating a lack of available resources online to confirm its accuracy. The conversation highlights the intersection of classical mechanics and quantum theory in understanding electron behavior in magnetic fields.

1. The allowable radius of spinning electron in uniform magnetic field using sommerfield quantization condition

3. Subs mv/r=qvB and some of its variation (like th period 2pi*r /v) into the closed int of pdq=nh and I got r=sqr((nh)/(2pi*qB)). Is this correct. I can't find anything about this equation in the internet.
