COMEDK · Physics · 28. Atomic Physics

In the case of the Bohr atom model if \(E_{K}\) and \(U\) are the kinetic and potential energies of an electron in an orbit, then

  1. A \(E_{K}+U=0\)
  2. B \(E_{K}-U=0\)
  3. C \(2 E_{K}+U=0\)
  4. D \(E_{K}+2 U=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 E_{K}+U=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Bohr's atomic model, Kinetic energy \(K\) or \(E_{K}=\frac{U}{2}\) where, \(U=\) potential energy. which is negative. \[ \therefore \quad 2 E_{K}+U=0 \]
