Energy of the Electron & Energy Levels

The kinetic energy of the electron in an orbit of radius $r$ in hydrogen atom is proportional to ( $e$ = electronic charge)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

Centripetal force: $\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{ke^2}{r^2}$ with $k = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}$ .
$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{ke^2}{2r} \propto \frac{e^2}{2r}$
So the answer is (c) $\frac{e^2}{2r}$ .
