atoms and nuclei:::::
None
A helium atom consists of two electrons orbiting round a nucleus of charge Z=2.But the electrons do not see the full charge Z=2 of the nucleus.Each electron sees the nucleus slightly screened by the other electrons so that the effective charge Zeff seen by each electron is less than 2.The ionisation potential for a He atom in its ground state is measured experimentally to be 24.46eV.Estimate the effective charge of the nucleus as seen by each electron in the helium ground state.
plz xplain it clearly.

Dear
What ever you would have applied to find the charge of the elcetron in the given context is still true only thing taken in to consideration is a factor ( less than one ) to be multiplied to all your expression .
Try this and let me know if found any problem . The physics in the question is that less than one factor. Rest is mathematics Please try to understand the physics and let me know
