Answer:
The potential energy of the electron in the field of the positive proton point charge is U(r) = -qeV(r) = - keqe2/r. The total energy is the sum of the electron's kinetic energy and its potential energy.
Explanation:
In each case the origin is located at the intersection of the axes. The electric potential from a single charge is defined to be zero an infinite distance from the charge, and the electric potential associated with two charges is also defined to be zero when the charges are infinitely far apart.
