An electron is released from rest at a distance of $$\(r_{1}\)$$ from a proton. What is the kinetic energy of the electron when it is a distance $$\(r_{2}\)$$ from the proton?

A.
0
B.
\(\frac{e^{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\left(\frac{1}{r_{2}{ }^{2}}-\frac{1}{r_{1}{ }^{2}}\right)\)
C.
\(\frac{e^{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\left(\frac{1}{r_{1}{ }^{2}}-\frac{1}{r_{2}{ }^{2}}\right)\)
D.
\(\frac{e^{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\left(\frac{1}{r_{2}}-\frac{1}{r_{1}}\right)\)
E.
\(\frac{e^{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\left(\frac{1}{r_{1}}-\frac{1}{r_{2}}\right)\)
