To calculate the ground state energy of a helium atom under the assumption that there is no repulsive force between the electrons, we can follow these steps:
### Step-by-Step Solution
1. **Understanding the Helium Atom**:
- The helium atom has 2 protons and 2 electrons. The atomic number \( Z \) for helium is 2, which means the nucleus has a charge of \( +2e \).
2. **Coulomb's Law**:
...
