A nonconducting ring of radius of 11.6 cm is uniformly charged
with a total positive charge of 10.0 µC. The ring rotates at a
constant angular speed 18.6 rad/s about an axis through its center,
perpendicular to the plane of the ring. What is the magnitude of
the magnetic field on the axis of the ring 5.00 cm from its
center?

Carla and Jenny are arguing about whether or not it is possible to escape the gravitational field of the Earth. Carla shows Jenny a system where mass m is rE (not the Earth's radius) distant from Earth and rP (not planet P's radius) distant from planet P, the mass being on the line connecting the Earth and planet P. Carla states that the mass m has escaped if FP on m = −FE on m. Jenny disagrees. Which one, if either, is correct, and why?

One of the difficulties of the Bohr model was that it assumes the existence of stationary orbits. Why was this problematic from a classical physics point of view? How does the solution of the Schrödinger equation remedy this situation?
