A neutron is placed in the center of three protons such that the protons sit on the vertices of a right angled triangle and the neutron is placed right at the center. What will be the effect seen?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
- The protons will not get pulled in as they would already be repelling each other.
- There's no reason for the neutron to get pushed out of the triangle as neutron will NOT experience any electrostatic force.
- Why at all will protons move in circular orbits if the triangle in question is a right triangle ?!
