Question

If the Electrostatic force is so much stronger than the gravitational force, how come it isn't as obvious as gravitation is around us?

• A. The electrostatic force acts strongly only at small distances
• B. Charges can be both positive and negative, so the electrostatic force can be both attractive and repulsive
• C. Gravitation is unaffected by the medium
• D. All of these

Answer 1
