With V = 0 at infinity, calculate in volts (a) the potential at the point halfway between their centers and the potential on the surface of (b) sphere 1 and (c) sphere 2.

If we think of quarks as point-like particles, then the distance scale between two up quarks inside a proton is roughly 10-15 [m]. The charge of each up quark is e, where e is the fundamental unit of charge 1.6 × 10-19 [C]. A theoretical model of the potential energy between the quarks is given by U(r) = nr where n = 1.89 x 105 and r is the separation distance between the quarks. Part (a) What are the units of the constant n? Part (b) Find the expression for the force between two quarks. Part (c) Compare the strength of the electrostatic repulsion between two up quarks inside a proton to the strength of the force from Part (b).

Two chloride ions and two sodium ions are in water, the “effective charge” on the chloride ions (Cl−) is −2.00 × 10−21 C and that of the sodium ions (Na+) is +2.00 × 10−21 C. (The effective charge is a way to account for the partial shielding due to nearby water molecules.) Assume that all four ions are coplanar. where a = 0.280 nm, b = 0.760 nm, and c = 0.460 nm.
