Potential Energy Operator subjected to a Coulombic Potential

[benrogers7511]

Looking for help with "Construciting the potential energy operator of a particle subjected to a Coulombic potential?"


Coulombic Potential: \phi = q/(4\pi\epsilonr)

Total Energy= (Kinetic + Potential) = [-(h^2/2m)(d^2psi/dx^2) + U(x)]


Kinetic Energy Operator = -(h^2/2m)(d^2\psi/dx^2)

I am looking for the potential energy operator

Well, how is the kinetic energy operator built ? In the same way you can build the potential energy one.
