Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total energy of an electron in an orbit consists of two components
1 ) Potential energy which is - ve because the field is attractive
2) Kinetic energy which represents moving electron having some velocity.
Kinetic is always positive.
3 ) In an orbit , The magnitude of potential energy is twice that of kinetic energy. So if -2E is the value of potential energy E wil be the value of kinetic energy.
4 ) Total energy will become some of potential energy and kinetic energy
-2E + E = -E
5 ) So total energy becomes equal to kinetic energy with only sign reversed.
In the given case total energy is -0.28 eV . Hence kinetic energy will be +0.28 eV.
When kinetic energy is calculated as +.28 eV , the potential energy will be
- 2 x .28 or - 0.56 eV .
