Arrange the following pairs of charged particles in order of increasing magnitude of electrostatic attraction (Eel).
(a) i < ii < iii < iv
(b) iv < iii < ii < i
(c) i = iii < ii < iv
(d) ii < i = iii < iv
(e) iv < i = ii < iii
Interpretation:
The electrostatic potential energies between the given charges in the given statement should be compared by using the concept of electrostatic energy.
Concept Introduction:
Energy is the ability to do work or transfer heat where work is the movement of a body using some force. The SI unit of energy is joule (
Electrostatic energy is potential energy which results from the interaction of charged particles. Oppositely charged particles attract each other and particles of like charges repel each other. The magnitude of the resulting electrostatic potential energy is proportional to the product of the two charges (
If the charges
To calculate: Determine the
Answer to Problem 3.1.3SR
The given pairs of charged particles in order of increasing magnitude of electrostatic attraction (
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option
The electrostatic energy between two charges is calculated using the formulae:
It is used to compare the magnitudes of the
For charges +1 and −3:
For charges +2 and −2:
For charges +2 and −3:
For charges +4 and −4:
Therefore, the given pairs of charged particles in order of increasing magnitude of electrostatic attraction (
Reasons for incorrect options:
By doing the calculations in which the given values are substituted, it is found that the option (a) is correct. Therefore, the options (b), (c), (d) and (e) are incorrect.
The electrostatic potential energies between the given charges in the given statement are compared by using the concept of electrostatic energy.

Water appears in nature in all three common states of matter. Water is a tasteless, odorless liquid at standard temperature and pressure. 2. The addition of salt in the distilling mixture made the water impure and saline. The addition of 5 drops of the silver nitrate solution into the distillate determines whether the distillate is impure or pure water. 3. The ideal electrical conductivity of totally pure water is 0.055 microSiemens, whereas typical deionized water has an electrical conductivity of 0.1 microSiemens. The freezing point of water at 1 atm is 100degC. 4. From the air, oxygen can slowly diffuse across the water’s surface from the surrounding atmosphere, or be mixed in quickly through aeration, whether natural or man-made. The aeration of water can be caused by wind (creating waves),…arrow_forward
