Energy in the hydrogen atom (a) Write an expression for the total energy of the electron-proton system in a hydrogen atom. (b) Use circular motion dynamics and any other ideas you may need to show that the positive kinetic energy of the electron is half the magnitude of the negative electric potential energy of the proton-electron system. (c) Based on these results, do you need to do positive or negative work to remove the electron from the proton? Explain. Represent the removal process with a work-energy bar chart.
