Charge separation and photocopying: Putting it all together

The dome of a Van de Graaff generator has a radius of 0.10 m. An electron in a hydrogen atom is located at a distance 0.20 m from the center of the dome. Determine the magnitude of the positive charge needed on the dome to exert a force on the electron that is equal to the force exerted by the atom’s nucleus on the electron. Is this a reasonable amount of charge on the dome? Explain.
