Question

A proton and an electron are placed apart in free space find the magnitudeof the electrostatic force between them what is the nature of the force?

Answer 1

Hey according to the coloumbs law ...it states That
the force of magnitude between two charge that are held in the space is given by ...

F = K q1 q2 / r^2.........
thus ...here the charges are opposite in nature ..hence the force will be of attraction between them....

Answer 2

nature of the force will be attractive
because opposite charge are attractive

..and magnitude of electrostatic force will
be
the
{electric constant ×charge on electron ×on proton}/{r}
