Fission vs. electric potential

About points...

We associate a certain number of points with each exercise.
When you click an exercise into a collection, this number will be taken as points for the exercise, kind of "by default".
But once the exercise is on the collection, you can edit the number of points for the exercise in the collection independently, without any effect on "points by default" as represented by the number here.

That being said... How many "default points" should you associate with an exercise upon creation?
As with difficulty, there is no straight forward and generally accepted way.
But as a guideline, we tend to give as many points by default as there are mathematical steps to do in the exercise.
Again, very vague... But the number should kind of represent the "work" required.

Why we use chess pieces? Well... we like chess, we like playing around with \(\LaTeX\)-fonts, we wanted symbols that need less space than six stars in a table-column... But in your layouts, you are of course free to indicate the difficulty of the exercise the way you want.

That being said... How "difficult" is an exercise? It depends on many factors, like what was being taught etc.
In physics exercises, we try to follow this pattern:

Level 1 - One formula (one you would find in a reference book) is enough to solve the exercise. Example exercise

Level 2 - Two formulas are needed, it's possible to compute an "in-between" solution, i.e. no algebraic equation needed. Example exercise

Level 3 - "Chain-computations" like on level 2, but 3+ calculations. Still, no equations, i.e. you are not forced to solve it in an algebraic manner. Example exercise

Level 4 - Exercise needs to be solved by algebraic equations, not possible to calculate numerical "in-between" results. Example exercise

Level 5 -
Level 6 -

The following quantities appear in the problem: elektrische Ladung \(q, Q\) / Kraft \(F\) / Strecke \(s\) /

The following formulas must be used to solve the exercise: \(F = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\cdot \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} \quad \)

Exercise:
Asing a fission of isotopeU o two roughly equal fragments estimate the electric potential energy just as the fragments separate from each other. Ase that the fragments are spherical and compare your calculation to the nuclear fission energy released about pqMeV.

Solution:
If Uran- is split o two roughly equal fragments these fragments could be isotopePd. Each Palladium nucleus carries the charge qe. If we ase one nuclei to be one fermi i.e. one femtometer fmm in diameter the two isotopes are RR apart. The electric potential energy is therefore Epot W Fr ddr _R^infty fracq^piepsilon_ fracr^ mboxdr fracq^piepsilon_ left-fracrright_R^infty fracq^piepsilon_ fracR fracqtyq^pi nceps fracR E EMeV
