The electrostatic potential energy of two charges q 1 and q 2 separated by a distance r

Question:

The electrostatic potential energy of two charges q1 and q2 separated by a distance r is U = kq1q2/r, where k is the Coulomb constant.

(a) Use Equation 40-1 to calculate the radii of 2H and 3H.

(b) Find the electrostatic potential energy when these two nuclei are just touching, that is, when their centers are separated by the sum of their radii.

R = RAV3 40-1 41/3
