Energy of the Electron & Energy Levels

In Bohr's atomic model of hydrogen, let K, P and E are the kinetic energy, potential energy and total energy of the electron respectively. Choose the correct option when the electron undergoes transitions to a higher level:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. K=ke22rK = \frac{ke^2}{2r}, P=−ke2rP = -\frac{ke^2}{r}, E=−ke22rE = -\frac{ke^2}{2r}.
  2. In a higher level rr is larger: KK decreases, while PP and EE become less negative (increase).
  3. So the answer is (b) K decreases, P and E increase.
