1. Find the electric quadrupole moment of a uniformly charged ellipsoid of revolution of

semi major axes b and semi minor axes a.
2. Calculate the magnetic dipole moment of deuteron.
3. Assuming the nuclear potential is of square well type, find out the deuteron wave
function. Use the continuity and normalization conditions to evaluate the constants in
the wave function. From the resulting wave function evaluate the rms radius of the
deuteron.
4. Problem 3 of Chapter 4, Kenneth S Krane’s Introductory Nuclear Physics
