Free electrons have an elementary electric charge resp. an elementary electric field.

• Does this also apply to electrons bounded in the atom?
• Where does the energy for the emitted photons come from during relaxation to the deeper states? (1)

<aside> 📌 Assumption: The electric field of bounded electrons reduces as they approach the atomic nucleus. The released energy from the field is emitted as photons.

</aside>

Does this also apply to the reduction of the proton's field?

<aside> 📌

Presumtion: The electric dipole field of bounded protons and electrons reduces as the electron approaches the atomic nucleus. The released energy from the common field is emitted as photons. ↓8↓

(1) The potential difference does not depend on the speed (or, indeed, on the path) of the test charge. It only depends on the initial and final positions of the test charge. Source PSE
