Because the forces between two unit charges are roughly 1040
(10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) times
as great as the gravitational force between two unit masses the same
distance apart. So the gravitational forces can be ignored, and not have
the slightest effect on the calculations.
Example:
Pass a charged comb over a bit of tissue on the table. The tissue jumps up to the comb.
The charge attracts the tissue with a force stronger than the gravitational force of the
whole earth.
What else can I help you with?
Compared to the electric force the gravitational force between 2 protons is?
The electric force between two protons is much stronger than the gravitational force between them. The electric force is about 10^36 times stronger than the gravitational force at the atomic scale. This is why charged particles interact primarily through electromagnetic forces and not gravitational forces.
Which action produces a decrease in both the electrical force and gravitational force between 2 charged objects?
Increasing the distance between the two charged objects will decrease both the electrical force and gravitational force acting between them. The strength of these forces decreases as the distance between the objects increases, according to the inverse square law.
What do the northern lights come from?
The northern lights, or aurora borealis, are caused by the interaction between charged particles from the sun and the Earth's magnetic field. When these charged particles collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, they emit light, creating the beautiful display of colors in the sky.
Two forces in nature?
there are three types of people in this world: people who can count people who cannot count --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually there are four basic forces in nature Gravitational force which is the weakest Electromagnetic forces Nuclear force weak part And nuclear force strong part. This is the strongest of all the four.
Does light come from vibrating charged particles?
Yes, light is produced by accelerating charged particles, such as electrons, within atoms or molecules. When these charged particles change speed or direction, they emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light.
Why can scientists ignore the gravitational force when measuring the net force between two electrons?
The answer is gas.
What are the two non contact forces?
The two non-contact forces are gravitational force and electromagnetic force. Gravitational force acts between objects with mass, while electromagnetic force acts between charged particles.
How can you experimentally distinguish an electric field from a gravitational field?
Introduce two opposite charged objects one AT A TIME and if they move IN THE SAME DIRECTION, they are in a gravitational field, if they move IN DIFFERENT direction they are in an electric field.
Can you explain how electric forces are similar to and different from gravitational forces?
Electric forces and gravitational forces are similar in that they both involve the attraction or repulsion between objects. However, they differ in the types of objects they act upon and the strength of the forces. Electric forces act on charged particles, while gravitational forces act on objects with mass. Additionally, electric forces are much stronger than gravitational forces, making them more significant in the interactions between charged particles.
What force do charged particles exert?
Charged particles exert an electric force on other charged particles in their vicinity. This force can either be attractive (between particles of opposite charge) or repulsive (between particles of the same charge).
How does the electric force compare the the gravitational force?
The electric force is much stronger than the gravitational force, typically by a factor of around 10^36. This is because electric forces involve interactions between charged particles, which are inherently stronger than interactions between particles that only have mass.
What are electrical force gravitational force and magnetic force?
Electrical force is the force that exists between charged particles, either attracting or repelling based on their charges. Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two masses, such as between the Earth and objects on its surface. Magnetic force is the force exerted between magnets or between a magnetic field and a moving charged particle.
What is the charged particles that can be transferred?
Charged particles that can be transferred between objects include electrons (negatively charged) and protons (positively charged). This transfer of charged particles is what creates static electricity.
What is the interaction between two charged particles called?
The interaction between two charged particles is called an electrostatic force.
2 kinds of forces?
Gravitational force, which is the force of attraction between two masses, and electromagnetic force, which is the force between electrically charged particles.
IS the electrostaic force not as strong as the gravitational force?
Electrostatic force IS stronger than gravitational force because the electrostatic force between a charged straw (which has been rubbed with a cloth) can defy gravity and stick to the ceiling.
Masses are to newtons gravitational law as charges are to what?
Charges are to Coulomb's law. Coulomb's law describes the electrostatic force between two charged particles, similar to how Newton's law of gravitation describes the gravitational force between two masses.
