The work done by the field of a nucleus in a complete circular orbit of the electron is

  1. A \(\frac{ k ( Z e) e}{ r }\)
  2. B \(\frac{ k ( Ze ) e }{ r ^2}\)
  3. C \(-\frac{k\left(Z_e\right) e}{r^2}\)
  4. D Zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In a circular orbit, the electrostatic force acts radially toward the nucleus, while the displacement of the electron is always tangential. Since the force and displacement are perpendicular \(\left(90^{\circ}\right)\) at every point, the work done ( \(W=F d \cos \theta\) ) is…
