The kinetic energy of the electron in an orbit of radius \(r\) in hydrogen atom is proportional to ( \(e=\) electronic charge \()\)

  1. A \(\frac{e^2}{4 r}\)
  2. B \(\frac{e^2}{2 r}\)
  3. C \(\frac{e^2}{r}\)
  4. D \(\frac{e^2}{2 r^2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{e^2}{2 r}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The potential energy of the electron in the nth orbit of radius \(r\) in Hatom, \(U=\frac{e^2}{r}\) (in CGS)
\(\because\) K.E. \(=\frac{1}{2} \mid\) P.E. \(\mid \Rightarrow K=\frac{e^2}{2 r}\)
