Question
Verify the statement that gravitational forces between two charges can be neglected compared to the
electrostatic forces using the example of two electrons separated by a distance of 1m, compare the
magnitude of the Coulomb's force and the gravitational force on each electron.
Use:
-31
Mass of an electron is 9.1 x 10 kg.
Gravitational constant G=6.67×10-11 Nm²/kg².
Coulomb's constant k=9x10⁹ Nm²/C².
Charge of an electron is -1.6×10-1⁹ C.
