The Bohr model for the $H$-atom relies on Coulomb's law of electrostatics. Coulomb's law has not been directly verified for very short distances of the order of $\mathring{A}$. Suppose Coulomb's law between two opposite charges $+q_1$ and $-q_2$ is modified to $|\vec{F}| = \frac{q_1 q_2}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \left( \frac{1}{r^2} \right)$ for $r \ge R_0$ and $|\vec{F}| = \frac{q_1 q_2}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \left( \frac{1}{R_0^{2-\epsilon} r^{\epsilon}} \right)$ for $r < R_0$. Calculate the ground state energy of an $H$-atom,given $\epsilon = 0.1$ and $R_0 = 1 \,\mathring{A}$.

In Bohr's atomic model,the electron is assumed to revolve in a circular orbit of radius $0.5 \times 10^{-10} \; m$. If the speed of the electron is $2.2 \times 10^{6} \; m/s$,then the current associated with the electron will be $.... \times 10^{-2} \; mA$. [Take $\pi$ as $\frac{22}{7}$]
