Physics · Electrostatics
The charge density of the electron cloud of a hydrogen atom is given by ρ(r) = -e8πa3 exp(-r/a), where a is a characteristic length. The potential energy due to the electrostatic interaction between the proton (located at the origin) and this electron cloud is given by:
- 1-e22πε0a
- 2-e24πε0a
- 3-e2πε0a
- 4-e28πε0a✓
Correct answer
-e28πε0a
