摘要
The classical counterpart of the well-known quantum mechanical model of a spherically confined hydrogen atom is examined in terms of the Lenz vector, a dynamic variable featuring the conventional Kepler problem. It is shown that a conditional conservation law associated with the Lenz vector is true, in fair agreement with the corresponding quantum problem previously found to exhibit a hidden symmetry as well.
