If we know that the Bohr model assumes stationary states, i.e a zero net force we can use the expression Extra close brace or missing open brace FCoul=Fcent  to express the kinetic energy through the potential energy. 
K×q2r2=mv2r 
If we multiply the equation by rw we get 
2K×q2r=mv22 
Which is 2Ep=K and gives that epK=12
