The electrostatic energy of Z prot ns uniformly distributed

Last updated: 5/29/2023

The electrostatic energy of Z prot ns uniformly distributed throughout a spherical nucleus of radius R is given by 3 Z Z 1 e 5 4 R The measured masses of the neutron 1H 15N and 150 are 1 008665 u 1 007825 u 15 000109 u and 15 003065u respectively Given that the radii of both the 15N and 150 nuclei are same 1 u 931 5 MeV c c is the speed of light and e 4 1 44 MeV fm Assuming that the difference between the binding energies of 15N and 150 is purely due to the electrostatic energy 2016 the radius of either of the nuclei is 1 fm 10 5m A 2 85 fm C 3 42 fm B 3 03 fm D 3 80 fm
