    If m and e are the mass and charge of the revolving electron in the orbit of radius r for hydrogen atom, the total energy of the revolving electron will be:   [JEE Main Online Paper ( Held On 12 Apirl  2014 )

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}\frac{{{e}^{2}}}{r}\]                               

    B) \[-\frac{{{e}^{2}}}{r}\]

    C) \[m{{e}^{2}}\]                                  

    D) \[1\,{{e}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Total energy of a revolving electron is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy. Total energy = K.E. + P. E. \[=\frac{{{e}^{2}}}{2r}+\left( -\frac{{{e}^{2}}}{r} \right)\] \[=-\frac{{{e}^{2}}}{2r}\]
