Abstract

In a previously published paper, the author made some mistakes in calculating the potential energy of the electron in a hydrogen atom. Those mistakes occurred due to applying a potential energy formula with a certain range of application in a region where it is not applicable. Therefore, this paper corrects that error by deriving a formula for potential energy with no range of application. The paper also proposes a model in which a virtual particle pair present in the vacuum region inside a hydrogen atom simultaneously has a photon with positive energy and a photon with negative energy (In this paper, these photons are called dark photons). In the state where the relativistic energy  is zero, the sum of the positive energy and negative energy of the virtual particle pair becomes zero. According to this model, this makes it possible for the particles to release photons, and capture negative energy.
