A helium atom consists of two electrons orbiting round a nucleus of charge Z=2. But the electrons do not see the full charge Z=2 of the nucleus. Each electron sees the nucleus slightly screened by the other electron so that the effective charge Z_(eff) seen by each electron is less than 2. The ionisation potential for a He atom in its ground state is measured experimentally to be 24.46 eV. Estimate the effective charge of the nucleus as seen by each electron in the helium ground state.
