Question

The potential energy of a particle varies with distance x as shown in the graph.
The force acting on the particle is zero at

Moderate

A

C
B

B
C

B and C
D

A and D

Solution

$F = \frac{- dU}{dx}$ it is clear that slope of U – x curve is zero at point B and C.
$∴$ F = 0 for point B and C
