Three particles, charge q1=+10渭颁, q2=-20渭颁 , and q3=+渭颁 , are positioned at the vertices of an isosceles triangle as shown in Fig. 24-62. If a=10cm and b=6.0cm , how much work must an external agent do to exchange the positions of (a) q1 and q3 and, instead, (b) q1 andq2? Short Answer Expert verified (a) The work is W=-24J.(b) The work is W=0J. Step by step solution 01 Given data: Draw the free body diagram as below. From the above figure:The charge, q1=+10渭C=+10脳10-6CThe charge, q2=-20渭C=-20脳10-6CThe charge, q3=+30渭C=+30脳10-6CThe distance,a=0.10mb=0.06mThe distance, 02 Understanding the concept: Conservation of work energy principle state that,the total energy of a particle in a conservative force field is constant. 03 (a) Calculate how much work must an external agent do to exchange the positions of q1 and q3 : The net energy of the system in initial set-up of charges:Uneti=U12+U23+U13=14蟺蔚oq1q2b+q2q3a+q1q3a Uneti=9.0脳109N.m2/C2+10脳10-6C-20脳10-6C0.06m+-20脳10-6C+30脳10-6C0.10m++10脳10-6C+30脳10-6C0.10m =9.0脳109N.m2/C2-200脳10-12C20.06m+-600脳10-12C20.10m++300脳10-12C20.10m =9.0脳109N.m2/C2-3333.33脳10-12C2/m-6000脳10-12C2/m=3000脳10-12C2/m =9.0脳109N.m2/C26333.33脳10-12C2/m Uneti=-56999.97脳10-3N路m=-57J Now, after exchanging q1 and q3: The net energy of the system with final set-up:Unetf=U12+U23+U12=14蟺蔚oq1q2a+q2q3b+q1q3bSubstitute known values in the above equation.Unetf=9.0脳109-2000.10-6000.06+3000.10脳10-12=9.0脳109-9000脳10-12=-81JThus, the net work done is,W=Unetf-Uneti=-81+57J=-24JHence, the work is -24J. 04 (b) Calculate how much work must an external agent do to exchange the positions of q1 and q2 : The net energy of the system in initial set-up of charges:Uneti=-57JNow, after exchangingq1 and q2.The net energy of the system with final set-up:Unetf=U12+U23+U12=14蟺蔚oq1q2b+q2q3a+q1q3aUnetf=9.0脳109-2000.06+3000.10-6000.10脳10-12=-57JTherefore, the net work done is,W=Unetf-Uneti=-57+57J=0JHence, the work is 0J.
