Detailed Solution

According to Bohr electrostatic force of attraction, Fe between the revolving electrons and nucleus provides the necessary centripetal force Fc to keep them in their orbits .
Thus in orbit of an hydrogen atom.
Fc=Femv2r=14πε0e2r2
The relation between the orbit radius and the electron velocity is r=e24πε0mv2 
The kinetic energy (K) of the electron in hydrogen atom is
Kn=12mvn2=e28πε0rn
The potential energy of electron in the nth orbit is 
Un=14πε0(e)×(e)rn=e24πε0rn
with increasing n, radius of orbit increases. Hence potential energy of electron increases
