Why Electricity, Magnetism, Optics, and Modern
Physics?
Understand the Nature
The Universe
Made of all particles that exist and the space where
all events occur
Matters
Everything exists in the universe is made from tiny Atoms

Atom: A very basic unit of matter
The Bohr Model of an Atom
• Nucleus: Protons with positive charge + Neutrons with no Charge
• Electrons: Move around the nucleus with negative charge
• Number of electrons = Number of protons in an Atom.
• Atom is always neutral
The Bohr Model of Atom and Photon
Bohr’s Postulates:
Stationary States: Electrons in certain
orbit without radiation
Atom radiates only when electron makes
a transition from one to other state
Frequency of the photon is given by
hf = Ei-Ef
Everything is made using these Atoms only
Elementary Particles
Electron: Fundamental Subatomic Particle
Mass (me) = 9.11x10-31 kg
Charge (e) = -1.60 x 10-19 Coulomb or C

Proton and Neutron
Proton: Fundamental Subatomic Particle
Mass (mp) = 1.673x10-27 kg
