Electrostatics Question 752

Question: Three identical particles, each possessing the mass m and charge +q, are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle with side r0. The particles are simultaneously set free and start flying apart symmetrically due to Coulomb’s repulsion foces. The work performed by Coulomb’s forces acting on to a very large distance is (where k=1/4πε0.)

Options:

A) 3kq2r0

B) kq2r0

C) 3kq22r0

D) kq22r0

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Since the given system is closed, the increase in KE is equal to decrease in P.E.

32mv2=2kq2r03kq2r

v=2kq2(rr0)mrr0,

vmax=2kq2mr0

The work performed by the interaction force during the variation of the system’s configuration is equal to the decrease in the potential energy

W=U1U2=3kq2r0

Work done per particle =kq2r0
