The next 5 questions all have to do with the diagram shown, on which I have placed an electron at the origin. The grid spacing is 1 Angstrom per small square. Now place an atomic nucleus with 5 protons on positive x-axis, at x = 2.1 Angstroms. How much work did it take you to bring this nucleus in from 1 m away?
