Consider a simple model of the hydrogen atom where one


Consider a simple model of the hydrogen atom where one electron is in a stable orbit around one proton at a distance of 0.05 nm. If the electron were moved to a larger stable orbit (say 0.1 nm), what would be the sign of: delta U = the change in potential energy? Delta K = the change in kinetic energy? Delta E = the change in mechanical (potential plus kinetic) energy? Would moving the electron to a higher orbit need positive or negative work from external forces?
