Answer

(a) $1.52\times 10^{-16}s$ (b) $0.00105A$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $v_1=\frac{2\pi ke^2}{1.h}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v_1=\frac{(2)(3.14)(9\times 10^9)(1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{6.63\times 10^{-34}}$ $v_1=21.82\times 10^5m/s$ Now $t=\frac{(2)(3.14)(5.29\times 10^{11})}{21.82\times 10^5}$ $t=1.52\times 10^{-16}s$ (b) The required current can be determined as $i=\frac{e}{t}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $i=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.52\times 10^{-16}}$ $i=1.05\times 10^{-3}A=0.00105A$
