The potential energy of particle in a force field is U = A/r² – b/r, where A and B are positive constants and r is the distance of particle from the centre of the field. For stable equilibrium, the distance of the particle is:
Options
(a) B / 2A
(b) 2A / B
(c) A / B
(d) B / A
Correct Answer:
2A / B
Explanation:
for equilibrium dU/ dr = 0
-2A/r³ + B/r² = 0 r = 2A / B
for stable equilibrium d²U /dr² should be positive for the value of r.
here d²U / dr² = 6A/r⁴ – 2B/r³ is +ve value for r = 2A / B So.
