Electric potential energy of the two protons?

[shahin93]

Homework Statement

The nucleus of a helium atom contains two protons. In a simple model of this nucleus, the protons are viewed as point particles separated by a distance of 1.0 fm (1.0 x 10^-15 m). What is the electric potential energy of the two protons?

please do step by step.
