MCQ
Potential energy of an electron in the atom is
  • A
    $Ze^2 / r$
  • $- Ze^2 / r$
  • C
    $Ze^2 / r^2$
  • D
    $- Ze^2 / r^2$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$- Ze^2 / r$
b
Potential energy $=$ work done

$=\int_{\infty}^r-\frac{Z e^2 d r}{r 2}=-\frac{Z e^2}{r}$

Potential Energy $=\frac{-Z k_e e^2}{r}$

$k_e=$ coulomb $^{\prime} s$ constant
