Question

Two protons are held in position separated by a distance of 1cm (0.01m) (a) what is the electric potential (voltage at a point between them? (B) what is the electric potential of the system? (C) if they are allowed to move away from each other due to their mutual repulsion, what will be their velocities after a long time has passed? ( mass of proton is 1.67x10^-27 kg).

(C) if they are allowed to move away from each other due to their mutual repulsion, what will be their velocities after a long time has passed? ( mass of proton is 1.67x10^-27 kg).

Explanation / Answer

Electric Potential is ,V = (1/4*pi*epsilon0)* q/r

Electric Potential is ,V = (1/4*pi*epsilon0)* q/r = 9*10^9*1.6*10^-19/0.01 = 1.4 * 10^-7 Volts

After a long time, the force wouldn't be present, hence they will come to rest, velocity is ZERO.
