Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

An electron is moving round the nucleus of a hydrogen atom in a circular orbit of radius r. The Coulomb force F⃗\vec{F}between the two is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Magnitude F=Ke2r2F = \frac{Ke^2}{r^2}; r^\hat{r} points from nucleus to electron.
  2. The force on the electron is attractive, towards the nucleus, i.e. along −r^-\hat{r}.
  3. So the answer is (d) −Ke2r2r^-K\frac{e^2}{r^2}\hat{r}.
