Is electrostatic force strong or weak?

Open in App

Solution

Explanation:
Although the majority of induced electrostatic forces are modest, certain electrostatic forces, such as the one between an electron and a proton in a hydrogen atom, are 36 orders of magnitude larger than the gravitational force acting between them.
Hence, the electrostatic force is strong.
