The curve for potential energy 
and kinetic energy 
of two particle system are shown in the figure. At what points the system will be bound energy?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The system will be bound where, total energy is -ve
For all the points magnitude of 
So total energy is negative. Therefore the system is a bound system for all the points.
