Answer:
Force acting on a particle performing circular motion along the radius of circle and directed towards the centre of the circle is called centripetal force.
It is given by FCP =
m
V

r
mV2r
where, r = radius of circular path.
b. Example: Electron revolves around the nucleus of an atom. The necessary centripetal force is provided by electrostatic force of attraction between positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electron.
