Two protons are fixed in space with a separation of 979 nm. Calculate the electric potential at the midpoint between the two particles.

Answer:

E = 12,007.8 N/C

Explanation:

Distance between Proton and Electron = 979 nm = 9.79 × 10⁻⁷ m

Midway distance d =  9.79 × 10⁻⁷ m / 2 = 4.895 × 10⁻⁷ m

E at Midpoint = 2 ( K e / d²)     ∴ charge of Proton = charge on electron= 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

E = 2 ( 8.98  × 10⁹ Nm²/C² × 1.602  × 10⁻¹⁹ C / (4.895 × 10⁻⁷ m)² )

E = 12,007.8 N/C
