Electrostatics Question 208

Question: An electron is moving round the nucleus of a hydrogen atom in a circular orbit of radius r. The coulomb force $ \overrightarrow{F} $ between the two is (Where $ K=\frac{1}{4\pi {\varepsilon _{0}}} $ ) [CBSE PMT 2003]

Options:

A) $ -K\frac{e^{2}}{r^{3}}\hat{r} $

B) $ K\frac{e^{2}}{r^{3}}\vec{r} $

C) $ -K\frac{e^{2}}{r^{3}}\vec{r} $

D) $ K\frac{e^{2}}{r^{2}}\hat{r} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \overrightarrow{F}=-k\frac{e^{2}}{r^{2}}\hat{r}=-k.\frac{e^{2}}{r^{3}}\overrightarrow{r} $

$ ( \because \hat{r}=\frac{\overrightarrow{r}}{r} ) $
