Question
A hydrogen atom contains one proton and one electron. It may be assumed that the electron revolves in a circle of radius $0.53$ angstrom $(1$ angstrom $= 10^{-10}m$ and is abbreviated as $A)$ with the proton at the centre. The hydrogen atom is said to be in the ground state in this case. Find the magnitude of the electric force between the proton and the electron of a hydrogen atom in its ground state.

Answer

$\text{R}=0.53\text{A}^\circ=0.53\times10^{-10}\text{m}$
$\text{F}=\frac{\text{Kq}_1\text{q}_2}{\text{r}^2}$
$=\frac{9\times10^9\times1.6\times1.6\times10^{-38}}{0.53\times0.53\times10^{-10}\times10^{-10}}$
$=82.02\times10^{-9}\text{N}$

A heavy box is kept on a smooth inclined plane and is pushed up by a force F acting parallel to the plane. Does the work done by the force F as the box goes from A to B depend on how fast the box was moving at A and B? Does the work by the force of gravity depend on this?
