उत्तर
The amount work done to separate the charges at infinity will be equal to potential energy.
Potential energy of the system U = `U_(q.2q) + U_(q-4q) + U_(2q-4q)`
`U = (kq(2q))/l + (kq(-4q))/l + (k2q(-4q))/l = (-10kq^2)/l`
Thus work done to seperate them to infinity W = U = `(-10kq^2)/l`

If one of the two electrons of a H2 molecule is removed, we get a hydrogen molecular ion `"H"_2^+`. In the ground state of an `"H"_2^+`, the two protons are separated by roughly 1.5 Å, and the electron is roughly 1 Å from each proton. Determine the potential energy of the system. Specify your choice of zero potential energy.
In the circuit shown in figure initially, key K1 is closed and key K2 is open. Then K1 is opened and K2 is closed (order is important). [Take Q1′ and Q2′ as charges on C1 and C2 and V1 and V2 as voltage respectively.]
Then
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that V1 = V2
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that Q1′ = Q2′
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that C1V1 + C2V2 = C1E
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that Q1′ + Q2′ = Q
Calculate potential energy of a point charge – q placed along the axis due to a charge +Q uniformly distributed along a ring of radius R. Sketch P.E. as a function of axial distance z from the centre of the ring. Looking at graph, can you see what would happen if – q is displaced slightly from the centre of the ring (along the axis)?
- In a quark model of elementary particles, a neutron is made of one up quarks [charge (2/3) e] and two down quarks [charges –(1/3) e].
