A magnetic field is applied to a freely floating uniform iron sphere with radius R = 2.00 mm. The sphere initially had no net magnetic moment, but the field aligns 12% of the magnetic moments of the atoms (that is, 12% of the magnetic moments of the loosely bound electrons in the sphere, with one such electron per atom). The magnetic moment of those aligned electrons is the sphere’s intrinsic magnetic moment .What is the sphere’s resulting angular speed v?
It may be argued on theoretical grounds that the radius of the hydrogen atom should depend only on the fundamental constants h, e, the electrostatic force constant k = 1/4πℰ0, and m (the electron’s mass). Use dimensional analysis to show that the combination of these factors that yields a result with dimensions of length is h2kme2.
The total probability of finding an electron in the hydrogen atom is related to the integral ∫ r2 e-2r/ao dr Where r is the distance of the electron from the nucleus and ao is the Bohr radius. Evaluate thisintegral.
