Question 19: NCERT Solutions for 12th Class Physics: Chapter 2-Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
If one of the two electrons of a H2 molecule is removed, we get a hydrogen molecular ion . In the ground state of an
,the two protons are separated by roughly 1.5 A, and the electron is roughly 1 A from each proton. Determine the potential energy of the system. Specify your choice of the zero of potential energy.
Solution:
It is a system of three point charges and the potential energy stored is this system of charges is
with zero potential energy at infinity.
