The kinetic energy of an electron in the $n^{th}$ orbit of a hydrogen-like species with atomic number $Z$ is $13.6 \frac{Z^2}{n^2} \ eV$. The potential energy of this electron in the same orbit will be:

  • A
    $+27.2 \frac{Z^2}{n^2} \ eV$
  • B
    $-6.8 \frac{Z^2}{n^2} \ eV$
  • C
    $13.6 \frac{Z^2}{n^2} \ eV$
  • D
    $-27.2 \frac{Z^2}{n^2} \ eV$
