If the kinetic of revolving electron in ...

If the kinetic of revolving electron in an orbit is K, what is its potential energy and total energy ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For an electron revolving round the nucleus, total energy is always negative and it is numerically equal to kinetic energy. `therefore` Total energy =-kinetic energy =-K
Potential energy is always negative and PE `=2xxTE=-2K`
