A particle of mass mmm is moving in a circular orbit under the influence of the central force F(r)=−krF(r)=-k rF(r)=−kr, corresponding to the potential energy V(r)=kr2/2V(r)=k r^2 / 2V(r)=kr2/2, where kkk is a positive force constant and rrr is the radial distance from the origin. According to the Bohr's quantization rule, the angular momentum of the particle is given by L=nℏL=n \hbarL=nℏ, where ℏ=h/(2π),h\hbar=h /(2 \pi), hℏ=h/(2π),h is the Planck's constant, and nnn a positive integer.

Correct answer: A, B, C

  1. Given data

A particle moves in a circular orbit under the central force F(r)=−krF(r)=-krF(r)=−kr with potential energy V(r)=12kr2.V(r)=\frac{1}{2}kr^2.V(r)=21​kr2.

Also, Bohr quantization gives L=nℏ.L=n\hbar.L=nℏ.

We must check each option.


  1. Condition for circular motion

For a circular orbit of radius rrr, the required centripetal force is mv2r.\frac{mv^2}{r}.rmv2​.

Since the given central force provides this, mv2r=kr.\frac{mv^2}{r}=kr.rmv2​=kr. So, mv2=kr2mv^2=kr^2mv2=kr2 v^2=\frac{k}{m}r^2. \tag{1}


  1. Use angular momentum quantization

For circular motion, L=mvr=n\hbar. \tag{2}

Using (1), v=rkm.v=r\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}.v=rmk​​.

Substitute into (2): L=m(rkm)rL=m\left(r\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\right)rL=m(rmk​​)r L=r2mk.L=r^2\sqrt{mk}.L=r2mk​.

Now using L=nℏL=n\hbarL=nℏ, r2mk=nℏr^2\sqrt{mk}=n\hbarr2mk​=nℏ r2=nℏ1mk=nℏ1mk.r^2=n\hbar\frac{1}{\sqrt{mk}}=n\hbar\sqrt{\frac{1}{mk}}.r2=nℏmk​1​=nℏmk1​​.

So Option A is correct.


  1. Check option B

From (1), v2=kmr2.v^2=\frac{k}{m}r^2.v2=mk​r2. Substitute the value of r2r^2r2 from option A result: v2=km⋅nℏ1mk.v^2=\frac{k}{m}\cdot n\hbar\sqrt{\frac{1}{mk}}.v2=mk​⋅nℏmk1​​.

Simplify: v2=nℏkm3.v^2=n\hbar\sqrt{\frac{k}{m^3}}.v2=nℏm3k​​.

So Option B is correct.


  1. Check option C

We found above that L=r2mk.L=r^2\sqrt{mk}.L=r2mk​. Hence, Lmr2=r2mkmr2=km.\frac{L}{mr^2}=\frac{r^2\sqrt{mk}}{mr^2}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}.mr2L​=mr2r2mk​​=mk​​.

So Option C is correct.


  1. Check option D

Total energy is E=T+V.E=T+V.E=T+V.

Kinetic energy: T=12mv2.T=\frac{1}{2}mv^2.T=21​mv2. Using mv2=kr2mv^2=kr^2mv2=kr2, T=12kr2.T=\frac{1}{2}kr^2.T=21​kr2.

Potential energy: V=12kr2.V=\frac{1}{2}kr^2.V=21​kr2.

Therefore, E=kr2.E=kr^2.E=kr2.

Now substitute r2=nℏ1mk,r^2=n\hbar\sqrt{\frac{1}{mk}},r2=nℏmk1​​, so E=k⋅nℏ1mk=nℏkm.E=k\cdot n\hbar\sqrt{\frac{1}{mk}}=n\hbar\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}.E=k⋅nℏmk1​​=nℏmk​​.

But option D says E=nℏ2km,E=\frac{n\hbar}{2}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}},E=2nℏ​mk​​, which is smaller by a factor of 222.

So Option D is incorrect.
