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=+10C=+1010-6C

The charge, q2=-20C=-2010-6C

The charge, q3=+30C=+3010-6C

The distance,a=0.10mb=0.06m

The 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=14oq1q2b+q2q3a+q1q3a

Uneti=9.0109N.m2/C2+1010-6C-2010-6C0.06m+-2010-6C+3010-6C0.10m++1010-6C+3010-6C0.10m

=9.0109N.m2/C2-20010-12C20.06m+-60010-12C20.10m++30010-12C20.10m

=9.0109N.m2/C2-3333.3310-12C2/m-600010-12C2/m=300010-12C2/m

=9.0109N.m2/C26333.3310-12C2/m

Uneti=-56999.9710-3Nm=-57J

Now, after exchanging q1 and q3:

The net energy of the system with final set-up:

Unetf=U12+U23+U12=14oq1q2a+q2q3b+q1q3b

Substitute known values in the above equation.

Unetf=9.0109-2000.10-6000.06+3000.1010-12=9.0109-900010-12=-81J

Thus, the net work done is,

W=Unetf-Uneti=-81+57J=-24J

Hence, the work is -24J.

(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=-57J

Now, after exchangingq1 and q2.

The net energy of the system with final set-up:

Unetf=U12+U23+U12=14oq1q2b+q2q3a+q1q3a

Unetf=9.0109-2000.06+3000.10-6000.1010-12=-57J

Therefore, the net work done is,

W=Unetf-Uneti=-57+57J=0J

Hence, the work is 0J.
