Question

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.
