Electron of charge -e moves in a circular path of radius r with velocity v under the attraction of nucleus of charge Ze.Coulomb attraction=cetripetal force.
Force equation

........(1)
The potential energy U is simply this Coulomb potential.
Kinetic energy
using the value of mv^2 from previous eq1.
From Bohr 2nd postulate
L=nh/2pi
Or,mvr=nh/2pi
Or,r=nh/2pimv
Use this in eq1 to obtain v.
Also remember that hydrogen spectrum is discrete because of this quantization.we get line spectrum,eg,lyman balmer etc.it is not continuous.
