In the Bohr theory of the hydrogen atom, an electron moves in a circular orbit about a proton, assume the radius of the orbit is 5.29 10-11 m. A) Find the magnitude of the electric force exerted on each particle.B) If this force causes the centripetal acceleration of the electron, what is the speed of the electron?

In the Bohr theory of the hydrogen atom, an electron moves in a circular orbit about a proton, where the radius of the orbit is $5.29 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{m} .$ (a) Find the magnitude of the electric force exerted on each particle. (b) If this force causes the centripetal acceleration of the electron, what is the speed of the electron?

The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom proposes that the electron orbits around the proton in a circle of radius $5.3 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{m} .$ The electric force is responsible for the radial acceleration of the electron. What is the speed of the electron in this model?
