?In the quark model of fundamental particles, a proton is composed of three quarks: two

Chapter 24, Problem 101

(choose chapter or problem)

In the quark model of fundamental particles, a proton is composed of three quarks: two “up” quarks, each having charge +2e/3, and one “down” quark, having charge –e/3. Suppose that the three quarks are equidistant from one another. Take that separation distance to be \(1.32 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{m}\) and calculate the electric potential energy of the system of (a) only the two up quarks and (b) all three quarks.
