In mathematical representation of bohr's energy,

En = KE + PE

En = 1/2 mv2 + (– KZe2 / rn)

here, can you please explain me how can we arrive at the above mentioned value of potential energy??

Dear student,

This is the potential energy of system of an electron and nucleus of the atom with sepraration ofr_nbetween them. Charge of the electron iseand that of nucleus of atomic numberZisZe.

Hence the force acting on the electron at distanceris-\dfrac{k(Ze)(e)}{r^2}.
Hence the work done in bring charge from infinity to its orbit = Potential energy of the sytsem=-\int_\infty^{r_n}(-\dfrac{kZe^2}{r^2})dr
=-\dfrac{kZe^2}{r_n}
