What does Z mean? |
In the formulae Ep= kZe^2/r does anyone know what Z means?

Try "atomic number." Now go look it up.

Well assuming you got this out of a textbook of some sort, I'm not sure
why it wasn't explained what it meant. This looks like an electric
potential energy between a charge "e" and a charge "Z*e",
where Z is an integer. For example, if it was an electron and a Helium
nucleus the electron would be e and the Helium nucleus would be 2*e.
I hope this answers what you were asking.

I didn't get it out of the text book but thanks anyway.
