The kinetic energy of an electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom is K . The values of its potential energy and total energy respectively are :

  1. A \(-2 K,- K\)
  2. B \(+2 K , - K\)
  3. C \(- K ,+2 K\)
  4. D \(+ K ,+2 K\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-2 K,- K\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Potential Energy \(PE = -2 \times \text{Kinetic Energy}\) \(PE = -2K\) Total Energy \(E = -\text{Kinetic Energy}\) \(E = -K\) Potential Energy, Total Energy = \(-2K, -K\)
