    Magnitude of kinetic energy in an orbit is equal to:

    A) half of the potential energy

    B) twice of the potential energy

    C) one fourth of the potential energy

    D) none of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Kinetic energy in an orbit \[=\frac{Z{{e}^{2}}}{8\pi {{E}^{o}}r}\] Potential energy in an orbit \[=\frac{Z{{e}^{2}}}{4\pi {{E}^{o}}r}\]             ?(ii) Comparing Eqs. (1) and (2). \[KE=\frac{1}{2}PE\]
