Assuming the atom is in the ground state, the expression for the magnetic field at the nucleus in a hydrogen atom due to the circular motion of the electron is [$\mu_0 =$ permeability of free space, $m =$ mass of electron, $\epsilon_0 =$ permittivity of free space, $h =$ Planck's constant].

The radius of a certain orbit of a hydrogen atom is $8.48 \mathring{A}$. If the energy of the electron in this orbit is $E/x$,then $x = . . . .$
