Answer
→Bohr combined classical and early quantum concepts and gave his theory in the form of three postulates. These are :
(i) Bohr's first postulate :
An electron in an atom could revolve in certain stable orbits without the emission of radiant energy.
→ According to this postulate, each atom has certain definite stable states in which it can exist, and each possible state has definite total energy. These are called the stationary states of the atom.
→This contrary to the predictions of electromagnetic theory.
(ii) Bohr's second postulate :
The electron revolves around the nucleus only in those orbits for which the angular momentum is in integral multiple of $\frac{h}{2 \pi}$.
→Where, $h$ is Planck's constant
$h=6.625 \times 10^{-34} J s \text {. }$
$L =\frac{n h}{2 \pi}$ Where, $n=1,2,3 \ldots$
(iii) Bohr's third postulate :
An electron makes a transition from one of its specified non-radiating orbits to another of lower energy. When it does so, a photon is emitted having energy equal to the energy difference between the initial and final states.
→The frequency of the emitted photon is then given by
$h v= E _i- E _f$
Where $E _i$ and $E _f$ are the energies of the initial and final states and $E _i> E _f$

Maxwell showed that the speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the permeability and permittivity of the medium through which it travels. The speed of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by $C=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}$ The fact led Maxwell to predict that light is an electromagnetic wave. The emergence of the speed of light from purely electromagnetic considerations is the crowning achievement of Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory.

→A capacitor is a device to store energy. The process of charging up a capacitor involves the transferring of electric charges from its one place to another. This work done in charging the capacitor is stored as its electrical potential energy.
If q is the charge and V is the potential difference across a capacitor at any instant during its charging, then small work done in storing an additional small charge dq against the repulsion of charge q already stored on it is $\text{dW}=\text{V.dq}=(\frac{\text{q}}{\text{C}})\text{dq}.$
