The total energy of an electron in an orbit of hydrogen atom is E. The potential energy of the electron in the same orbit is

  1. A E
  2. B \(\frac{E}{2}\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{E}\)
  4. D \(3 \mathrm{E}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \mathrm{E}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Kinetic energy is given by \(\mathrm{K} . \mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{KZe}^2}{2 \mathrm{r}}\) Potential energy is given by \(\text { P.E }=-\frac{K^2 e^2}{r}\) Total energy \(=\mathrm{K} \cdot \mathrm{E}+\mathrm{P} . \mathrm{E}\)…
