well...are you talking about the hierarchy problem? mmm... seems a bit advance for intro physics. OK, yes gravitational "force" is the weakest of all 4 fundamental forces (loosely speaking), but as previous poster said, it can also depend on the mass/charge of the objects involved. A direct comparsion can only be done when you are talking about coupling strength and not the force itself.shehri said:Homework Statement
I know that electrical/electrostatic i.e Coulob force is stronger than gravitational fiorce.But how much?There's too much contradiction within texts.
Homework Equations
Fe=Kq1q2/r2
Ge=Gm1m1/r2
The Attempt at a Solution
Different figures've been found in texts.Plz. give accurate figure.
It depends on the objects involved. Generally, the electrical force between two charged particles is much stronger than the gravitational force between them. However, on a larger scale, such as planetary or cosmic objects, the gravitational force can be much stronger.
The formula for electrical force is F = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2, where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects, and r is the distance between them.
The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects. This means that as the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between them decreases.
No, they are fundamentally different forces and cannot cancel each other out. However, they can both act on the same object simultaneously.
There is no direct relationship between these forces. They are both fundamental forces of nature and act independently of each other.
