The ratio of the radii of the second and third orbits of an $H$-atom is . . . . . . .

In Bohr's atomic model,the electron is assumed to revolve in a circular orbit of radius $0.5 \times 10^{-10} \; m$. If the speed of the electron is $2.2 \times 10^{6} \; m/s$,then the current associated with the electron will be $.... \times 10^{-2} \; mA$. [Take $\pi$ as $\frac{22}{7}$]
