In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, a proton and an electron are separated by a constant distance r. (a) Would the clectric potential energy of the system increase, decrease, or stay the same if the electron is replaced with a proton? Explain. (b) Suppose, instead, that the proton is replaced with an electron. Would the electric potential energy of the system increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.
