The electric potential is –1.2 *10&–4 J C–1 at a point 1.2*10^–5 m from an isolated electron. An α-particle 4 He, passes through this point.
What is the magnitude of the electric potential at the mid-point between the α-particle and the electron at this instant?
So I used v=((1.6*10^-19)*2)/(4pi*(8.85*10^-12)*(1.2*10^-5)) to calculate the electric potential - and then I added this to the electric potential given and divided by 2.. but this method is wrong - can anyone help please????
