If an electron and a positron annihilate,the energy released is ........

The deuteron is bound by nuclear forces just as the $H$-atom is made up of a proton and an electron bound by electrostatic forces. If we consider the force between the neutron and proton in a deuteron as given in the form of a Coulomb potential but with an effective charge $e'$: $F = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{e'^2}{r^2}$,estimate the value of $(e'/e)$ given that the binding energy of a deuteron is $2.2 \text{ MeV}$.
