Answer

$U=0.484$ MeV

Work Step by Step

We know that; $U=\frac{K(\frac{2e}{3})^2}{r}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $U=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (\frac{2(1.6\times 10^{-19})}{3})^2}{1.32\times 10^{-15}}$ $U=7.7575\times 10^{-14}J$ $U=7.7575\times 10^{-14}J\times (\frac{1eV}{1.6\times 10^{-19}})$ $U=0.484\times 10^6eV$ $U==0.484M eV$
