  ⚛️ Bohr’s Atomic Model in 59 Seconds | Doubtify JEE Shorts 📌 Question: What explains the fixed energy levels of electrons in an atom and why do atoms emit light? Bohr’s Atomic Model gives us the first quantum explanation of atomic structure! 📸 Image: 📕 Concept & Formula: Stationary Orbits: Electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed circular paths called orbits. No radiation is emitted in these orbits. Quantized Angular Momentum: m v r = n h 2 π mvr = \frac{nh}{2\pi} Where: m = mass , v = velocity , r = radius , n = orbit number (1, 2, 3…) , h = Planck's constant Energy Transitions: When an electron jumps between orbits: Δ E = E 2 − E 1 = h ν \Delta E = E_2 - E_1 = h\nu Energy is absorbed or emitted in the form of light/spectral lines Energy of Orbit: E n ∝ − 1 n 2 E_n \propto -\frac{1}{n^2} → Lower orbit → More negative energy → More stability 🔢 Example: An electron jumps from n = 3 to n = 2 , and emits energy.

  🧲 Magnetic Field at Centre of Square Loop with Unequal Resistance | JEE Concept 📌 Question: Figure shows a current-carrying square loop ABCD of edge length ‘a’ lying in a plane. If the resistance of the path ABC is r and the path ADC is 2r, find the magnitude of the resultant magnetic field at the centre of the square loop. 🖼️ Question Image: 💡 Concept Used: Unequal resistance in different paths means current divides unequally in branches. Use current division rule and Biot-Savart Law or symmetry to find net magnetic field at center. Magnetic field due to a straight segment at center of square is: B = μ 0 I 4 π R ⋅ 2 sin ⁡ ( θ / 2 ) or use full loop formula if current is symmetrical. 🧠 Approach: Let total current be I. Since resistances are in parallel: Current in ABC: I 1 = 2 3 I I_1 = \frac{2}{3}I I 1 ​ = 3 2 ​ I Current in ADC: I 2 = 1 3 I I_2 = \frac{1}{3}I I 2 ​ = 3 1 ​ I Both paths form half-loops and contribute to B at center ....
