Electric Charges and Fields

  1. An electron is moving round the nucleus of a hydrogen atom in a circular orbit of radius r. The Coulomb force F between the two is​
    1. K
      e2
      r
      r3
    2. K
      e2
      r2
    3. -K
      e2
      r3
    4. -K
      e2
      r
      r3

      where K =
      1
      4πε0
Correct Option: D

Charges (–e) on electron and (e) on proton exert a force of attraction given by ​

Force = (K)
(-e)(e)
r̂ =
-Ke2
∵ r̂ =
r
r2r3| r |

Note : Magnitude of Coulomb force is given by
F =
1
