Verify Equations r n = n 2 Z a B and a B = h 2 4 π 2 m e kq e 2 = 0.529 × 10 10 m using the approach stated in the text. That is, equate the Coulomb and centripetal forces and then insert an expression for velocity from the condition for angular momentum quantization.

kZq e 2 r n 2 = m e V 2 r n , so that r n = kZq e 2 m e V 2 = kZq e 2 m e 1 V 2 . From the equation m e vr n = n h 2 π , we can substitute for the velocity, giving: r n = kZq e 2 m e 4 π 2 m e 2 r n 2 n 2 h 2 so that r n = n 2 Z h 2 4 π 2 m e kq e 2 = n 2 Z a B , where a B = h 2 2 m e kq e 2 .
