प्रश्न
Charges (+q) and (–q) are placed at points A and B respectively which are a distance 2L apart. C is the midpoint between A and B. What is the work done in moving a charge +Q along the semicircle CRD?
उत्तर
Vc = 0,
VD = `1/(4piepsi_0)[q/(3L) - q/L] = (-q)/(6piepsi_0L)`
W = Q[VD - Vc] = `(-Qq)/(6piepsi_0L)`

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.
