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 1: Understanding the Helium Atom A helium atom (He) has 2 protons and 2 electrons. The atomic number \( Z \) for helium is 2. The nucleus has a positive charge of \( +2e \) (where \( e \) is the elementary charge), and each electron has a charge of \( -e \). ### Step 2: Coulomb's Law According to Coulomb's law, the potential energy \( V \) between two point charges is given by: \[ ...
