1) A 2μC point charge is located at A(4, 3, 5) in free space. Find the electric
field intensity components Ep, E, and E₂ of the at P(8, 12, 2). (The answer
should be written in the simplest form).
The Morse potential
The harmonic potential, V(x) = ½kx?, is useful start for modelling molecular vibrations, but it has
limitations. A realistic potential between to atoms should accurately represent the sharp
increase in the potential as two nuclei come in close proximity, and also have the ability for a
bond to break: that is, an asymptote V →0 as x →00.
One option, as shown in the figure, is the Morse potential:
V(r) = D(1 – e-«(r=re))2

The parameter D is the well depth (or binding energy) of the potential, re is the bond length,
and a is the anharmonicity constant.
