The correct answer is: 4π2Ke2mn3h2

Since electrostatic force is a conservative force, therefore, F=-dUdx

F=-dUdR=Ke2R4

This force provides the necessary centripetal force, FC=mv2R

Ke2R4=mv2Rv2=Ke2mR3

Using Bohr quantization of angular momentum theory,

mvr=nh2πr=4π2Ke2mn2h2

Thus, Bohr's orbit is, r=4π2Ke2mn2h2
