C
mass of the electron=9.1×10
−31
kg
gravitational constant=6.67×10

i)to find the electrostatic force b/w 2 electron.
let 2 electrons are at a distance 'd' apart
the electrostatic force is F

iii) to show that electrostatic force is much grater then gravitational force.
for this we take ratio
F
g

=0.0416×10

=0.416×10
43
we can see tham f
e
>>f
g
ie. electrostatice force is much grater than the gravitational force for 2 electrons separated by a certain distance
