    The electric potential energy due to electric repulsion between two nuclei of C-12 when they touch each other at the surface, is

    A) 8.7 MeV              

    B) 11.4 MeV

    C) 10,2 MeV            

    D) 9.3 MeV

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The radius of C-12 nucleus is \[R={{R}_{0}}{{A}^{1/3}}\] \[=(1.1){{(12)}^{1/3}}=2.52fm\] The separation between the centres of the nuclei is 2R = 5.04 fm The potential energy of the pair is \[V=\frac{{{q}_{1}}{{q}_{2}}}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}r}\] \[=\frac{9\times {{10}^{9}}\times 6\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}{5.04\times {{10}^{-16}}}\]\[=1.64\times {{10}^{-12}}=10.2MeV\]
