The electric potential between a proton and an electron is given by $V = V_0 \ln(r/r_0)$,where $r_0$ is a constant. Assuming Bohr's model to be applicable,find the variation of $r_n$ with $n$,where $n$ is the principal quantum number.

Using the formula for the radius of the $n^{th}$ orbit $r_n = \frac{n^2 h^2 \epsilon_0}{\pi m Z e^2}$,derive an expression for the total energy of an electron in the $n^{th}$ Bohr orbit.
