An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

Mutual force between the particles is repulsive when distance between them is more than $x_{1}$ but less than $x_{2}$

Equilibrium is stable at $x_{1}$

Mutual force acting on the particles is zero when distance between them is $x_{1}$

Mutual force acting on the particles is zero when distance between them is $x_{2}$

Detailed Solution

$F = \frac{d U}{d x}$

Therefore, mutual force is zero where the slope of the curve is zero.

Since potential energy is minimum at $x_{1}$ , they will be at stable equilibrium.
