In the hydrogen atom, an electron makes a transition from

\mathrm{n}=2

\mathrm{n}=1

. The magnetic field produced by the circulating electron at the nucleus

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

increases 32 times

Option D (increases 32 times) is correct because the magnetic field produced by the circulating electron at the nucleus is inversely proportional to

n^5

, so when n changes from 2 to 1, the magnetic field increases by a factor of

2^5 = 32
