Problem 55P
Thomson’s Model of the Atom, Continued. Using Thomson’s (outdated) model of the atom described in Problem 22.54, consider an atom consisting of two electrons, each of charge \(-e\), embedded in a sphere of charge \(+2 e\) and radius R. In equilibrium, each electron is a distance d from the center of the atom (Fig. P22.55). Find the distance d in terms of the other properties of the atom.
