ABHISHEK JAIN AskiitiansExpert-IITD15 Years agoDear Shambhavi, since P.E. = Kq1q2\r charge on electron = 1.6 × 10^ -19 distance b/w two electrons = 3Å = 3 × 10^ -10 meter coulamb's constant k = 9 × 10^9 put the values in above formula: P.E. = 9 × 10^9 × 1.6 × 10^-19 × 1.6× 10^-19 ÷ 3 × 10^-10 = 7.676 × 10^-19 J
