The potential energy of a particle in a certain field has the form U=a/r^2 - b/r,where a and b are positive constants.r is the distance from center of the field. Find the value of (r0) corresponding to the equilibrium position of particle and examine whether this position is steady.

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.
-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.
