A positron is an elementary particle identical to an electron except that its charge is . An electron and a positron can rotate about their center of mass as if they were a dumbbell connected by a massless rod. What is the orbital frequency for an electron and a positron 2.00nm apart?
My Approach:
I treated the electron and positron as a system with a torque.
I found that the torque = pEsintheta = qsEsintheta = (1.60*10^-19)(2*10^-9)(1.94*10^9)
but I don't know theta
HELP!
