Use Bohr’s postulates hydrogen atom to deduce the expression for the kinetic energy $(K.E.)$ of the electron revolving in the $n^{th}$ orbit and show that, $K.E. \frac{\text{e}^{2}}{8\pi\varepsilon_{0}\text{ e}_{n}} , $ where $r_n$ is the radius of the $n^{th}$ orbit. How is the orbit. How is the potential energy in the orbit related to the orbital radius orbit related to the orbital radius $r_n?$

A p-n junction germanium diode when forward biased has a drop of 0.3V which is assumed to be independent of current. The current in excess of 10mA through the diode produces a large Joule-heating which damages (burns) the diode. If we want to use a 1.5V battery to forward-bias the diode, what should be the value of resistor used in series with the diode, so that the maximum current does not exceed 6mA?
