The electrical potential energy between two point charges is given by:

[tex]V=k\frac{qQ}{r}[/tex]

where:

k is the electrical constant

q, Q are the point charges

r is the distance between them

Protons have the same electric charge which is:

[tex]q=Q=+e=+1.6\cdot10^{-19}C[/tex]

Lets plug the information in the formula above:

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=(9\cdot10^9)\cdot\frac{(1.6\cdot10^{-19})\cdot(1.6\cdot10^{-19})}{2.0\times10^{-5}} \\ V=11.52\cdot10^{9+(-38)-(-5)} \\ V=11.52\cdot10^{-24} \\ V\approx1.2\cdot10^{-23}V \end{gathered}[/tex]

So our fina answer is:

[tex]V=1.2\cdot10^{-23}V[/tex]
