Physics Asked by DIVYANSH_269 on June 17, 2021
Suppose for all value of $textbf{r}$ expression for Effective Potential Energy ($U_{eff}$) is zero, does that mean $F(textbf{r})$ is zero?
In general, the answer is no.
Note $U_{eff}(r)=frac{L^2}{2mu r^2}+U(r)=0$
Take derivative of both sides yield:
$frac{-L^2}{mu r^3}+nabla U(r)=0$
This gives
$F(vec{r})=-nabla U(r)=frac{-L^2}{mu r^3}$
Thus, in general only if angular momentum is zero, force of all value $vec{r}$ is zero.
