Bohr's atom model

Question

In Bohr's model of hydrogen atom, let PE represent potential energy and TE the total energy. In going to a higher orbit,

Easy

A

PE increases, TE decreases
B

PE decreases, TE increases
C

PE increases, TE increases
D

PE decreases, TE decreases

Solution

$P E = 2 T E = - \frac{α}{n^{2}} [w h e r e α i s s o m e c o n s \tan t]$
With higher orbit, as r increases , n increases. So, both become less negative; hence both PE and TE increases.
