Take my word for it, I need this formula and value.

IF the electron in a hydrogen atom were in a 2 dimensional elliptical orbit such that it passed so closely to the proton that the separation was negligible(assume it is separated from center of mass of the proton by the radius of the proton with the proton at one focus of the ellipse.). Assume an apogee of the Bohr radius.

What would the average kinetic energy be, The max (@perigee) and the min(@apogee)?

Elaboration

Why do you "need" details of an orbit that can't exist?

KE = 1/2 mv^2

PE = kq₁q₂/r    k is 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

I'll take your word for it, but why do you need to know?

Thank you.

Silly me, Coulomb's law and I am trained in electronics.
