The electrostatic force between two protons placed at distance r is F. If we keep electrons in place of protons, then what would be the effect on the electrostatic force?

Solution

Charge on proton = Charge on electron
∴ There will be no change in the electrostatic force.
∴ Electrostatic force = F

What is the ratio of electrostatic force and gravitational force between a proton and electron at 1 mm distance?

Mass of proton – $1.67 \times 10^{- 27} k g$

Mass of electron – $9.11 \times 10^{- 31} k g$

Charge of electron – $1.6 \times 10^{- 19} C$
