As electron moves away from the nucleus, its potential energy

A

Increases

B

Decreases

C

Remains constant

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
If we want to move the electron away from the nucleus, the nucleus will attract it, so we will have to work on it against the field. As a result, potential energy increases.
