The helium atom consists of a spherical nucleus containing 2 protons. The nucleus is surrounded by 2 electrons orbiting around it at a distance of 1.0 × 10−12 m. The radius of the helium nucleus is 1.6 × 10−15 m. Find the strength of the electric field generated by the nucleus at the electrons' orbit.
