| Jun 8, 2016 at 10:28 | comment | added | John Rennie | Well you can leave if you want, that's your decision. In your place I'd use this as an opportunity to refine your thinking about what exactly you're asking. You can always discuss things in the chat if you don't want to post a question. | |
| Jun 8, 2016 at 10:18 | comment | added | John Rennie | That isn't a well defined question. If you add up the total energy of the proton and electron then as long as it is less than zero they will form an excited state of a hydrogen atom then relax into the ground state by emission of one or more photons. But your question implies you know the precise separation of the two particles, in which case their momenta along that axis are competely uncertain so there is no way to answer. | |
| Jun 8, 2016 at 3:43 | comment | added | Anubhav Goel | @mmesser314 Can you tell where I can read more about how is this self inductance created and how it came to give perpendicular force? OP of accepted answer don't seem to be responsive. | |

| Jun 8, 2016 at 2:38 | comment | added | Anubhav Goel | @dmckee Is it necessary to form neutron? Can't there be any other form of matter. Well, actual question is where does radial force for electron comes from? Can you suggest where I can find more? | |
| Jun 8, 2016 at 2:33 | comment | added | dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten | Counter question: does the total energy of the system amount to $m_n c^2$ for $m_n$ the mass of a neutron and $c$ the speed of light (here we are neglecting the energy of the neutrino, because it just doesn't matter)? Or you could ask the anthropic question about the situation: in which casee would you be here to ask the question? | |
