According to classical theory, the circular path of an electron in Rutherford atom is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B spiral
The revolution of the electron in a circular orbit is not expected to be stable. Any particle in a circular orbit would undergo acceleration. During acceleration, charged particles would radiate energy. Thus, the revolving electron would lose energy and finally fall into the nucleus following a spiral path.
