gravitional force for electron is much much smaller that electrostatic force which is Fg/Fe = 10 to the power -43

Charge on an electron q=−1.6×10 −19 C
Mass of an electron ,m=9.1×10 −31 kg
gravitational constant, g=6.67×10 −11
Let the distance between two electrons =r

Fg=Gm1m2r2
Fe=kq1q2r2
So, the ratio is,
FgFe=Gm2eke2
Where the 1/r2 have cancelled.
Now, we use the values:
G=6.67×10−11 N-m2kg−2
me=9.1×10−31 kg
k=9×109 N-m2 C−2
e=1.6×10−19 C
FgFe=(6.67×10−11)(9.1×10−31)2(9×109)(1.67×10−19)2 = 2.4×10−43
