Electric Charge & Coulomb's Law

In hydrogen like system the ratio of coulombian force and gravitational force between an electron and a proton is in the order of:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. FeFg=ke2Gmemp\dfrac{F_e}{F_g} = \dfrac{ke^2}{G m_e m_p} (both ∝1/r2\propto 1/r^2, so rr cancels).
  2. =9×109×(1.6×10−19)26.67×10−11×9.1×10−31×1.67×10−27≈2.3×1039= \dfrac{9\times10^9\times(1.6\times10^{-19})^2}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times1.67\times10^{-27}} \approx 2.3\times10^{39}
  3. So the answer is (b) 103910^{39} (options mean 1019,1039,…10^{19}, 10^{39}, \ldots).
