Detailed Solution
The electron moving in a circular orbit is equivalent to a current carrying loop. If v be its frequency, theni=ve=e/T (T= time period )We know that T=(2πr/v)∴ i=ev2πr=e(rω)2πr=eω2π (where ω = angular frequency)The magnetic field at the centre of the loopB=μ0i2ror B=μ02reω2π=μ0eω4πr∴ ω=4πrBμ0e
