    Magnitude of kinetic energy in an orbit is equal to :

    A)  half of the potential energy

    B)  twice of the potential energy

    C)  one fourth of the potential energy

    D)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea : Kinetic energy in an orbit                 \[=\frac{Z{{e}^{2}}}{8\,\,\pi \,{{E}^{o}}r}\] ? (i) Potential energy in an orbit \[=\frac{Z{{e}^{2}}}{4\,\,\pi \,{{E}^{o}}r}\] ... (ii) Comparing Eqs. (1) and (2). \[KE=\frac{1}{2}PE\]
