Problem 4.25 If electron, radius [4.138] 4πεmc2 What would be the velocity of a point on the "equator" in m /s if it were a classical solid sphere with a given angular momentum of (1/2) h? (The classical electron radius, re, is obtained by assuming that the mass of the electron can be attributed to the energy stored in its electric field with the help of Einstein's formula E = mc2). Does this model make sense? (In fact, the experimentally determined radius of the electron is much smaller than re, making this problem worse).

The essence of the statement of the uniqueness theorem is that if we know the conditions the limit that needs to be met by the potential of the system, then we find the solution of the system , then that solution is the only solution that exists and is not other solutions may be found. If we know potential solutions of a system, can we determine the type of system that generate this potential? If so, prove the statement! If no, give an example of a case that breaks the statement!
