Toroidal Electron Model, Schwinger Electromagnetic Wave, Bohr PostulatesAbstract
The quantization of the electron orbits in the Bohr atom is revisited. The toroidal electron model, in which electron charge is described by Schwinger electromagnetic wave orbiting the electron mass, offers a natural explanation for the orbit quantization. As a consequence, the four Bohr postulates can be directly derived from the toroidal electron structure. A physical meaning for the Rydberg constant is also proposed.

λe is defined in agreement with the well-known relationship between λB , λC , and λe , given by λB = λC /α = λe/α2 (rB = rc/α = re/α2 ), where λe = 2πre and re is the classical electron radius
