The total energy of an electron in an atom in an orbit is –3.4 eV. Its kinetic and potential energies are, respectively:

Answer: (C) 3.4 eV, –6.8 eV. Answer: (c) 3.4 eV, –6.8 eV Solution: Total energy E = −3.4 eV.

  1. A.–3.4 eV, –3.4 eV
  2. B.–3.4 eV, –6.8 eV
  3. C.3.4 eV, –6.8 eV✓
  4. D.3.4 eV, 3.4 eV

Correct Answer

(C) 3.4 eV, –6.8 eV

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (c) 3.4 eV, –6.8 eV Solution: Total energy E = −3.4 eV. In a Bohr orbit KE = −E = +3.4 eV, and PE = 2E = 2(−3.4) = −6.8 eV. So KE, PE = 3.4 eV, −6.8 eV.

PhysThe ground state energy of hydrogen atom is –13.6 eV. The energy needed to ionize hydrogen atom from its second excited state will be:PhysLet T₁ and T₂ be the energy of an electron in the first and second excited states of hydrogen atom, respectively. According to Bohr's model of an atom, the ratio T₁ : T₂ is:PhysThe ratio of kinetic energy to the total energy of an electron in a Bohr orbit of the hydrogen atom is:PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA sphere of radius R is carved out of a uniform solid sphere of radius 2R (internally tangent, so its centre is at distance R from the big centre). The ratio of the moment of inertia of the small sphere to that of the remaining part, both about the Y-axis through the big sphere's centre, is:PhysThe Sun rotates once in 27 days. If it expanded to twice its present radius (uniform-density sphere, no external influence), its new period would be about:
