Question

The potential energy of a particle in a certain has the uniform U=a/r^2-b/r , where a and b are positive constant r is the distance from the centre of the field. Find the of r not corresponding to the Equibilerium position of the particle. Examine whether the position is stable [ du/dr]​

Answer 1

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.Aug 1, 2018
