Textbook Question

Chapter 23, Problem 23.49P

A gold nucleus has a radius of 7.3 × 10⁻¹⁵ m and a charge of +79e. Through what voltage must an alpha particle, with charge +2e, be accelerated so that it has just enough energy to reach a distance of 2.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ m from the surface of a gold nucleus? (Assume that the gold nucleus remains stationary and can he treated as a point charge.)
