It is difficult to compare the strengths of Electric force and Gravity as they depend on two very different things. The strength of Electric force between two bodies is determined by Charge whereas Gracitational force is determined by mass.
In general, it has been observed that the amount of charge particles have causes a larger Electric force to be exerted between them than the Gravitational force induced by their masses. This is also what we observe on a larger scale in everyday life where, for example, one's entire weight is supported by the electormagnetic force between the molecules on the surface of one's feet and the surface of the floor.
^^^I agree that electrical force is stronger than gravitational force. I have always been taught that is is because electrical force acts in all directions, whereas gravity only acts downward.

What universal force is the weakest electric gravitational or magnetic?
gravitational force.
What affect does mass have on strength of a gravitational force?
The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.
According to Coulombs Law how does distance affect the electric force?
Electric force can act at a distance, but is stronger when objects are closer. the electric force is larger the closer the two objects are The electric force varies with the distance between the charges. The closer they are, the stronger the force. The farther apart they are, the weaker the force.
How electric and gravitational forces are compared?
actually in our daily life experience electric force or u can say electromagnetic force is more powerful than gravitational force. electromagnetic force is about 10^59 times stronger than gravitational force... but in light of string theory or m theory gravitational force is also as strong as electromagnetic force in multidimensional universe. for more info.- watch the documentary movie 'the elegant universe' by 'brian greene
On what does electric force depend that is analogous to mass in gravitational force?
Electric charge
Is electric force is stronger than gravitational force?
Yes because electrical force acts in all directions, whereas gravity is only directed downward.
Is gravitational force is stronger or weaker?
Gravitational force of the moon is 1/6th the gravitational force of the Earth. The larger the object, the greater gravitational force it will have.
What universal force is the weakest electric gravitational or magnetic?
gravitational force.
What affect does mass have on the strength of a gravitational force?
The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.
What affect does mass have on strength of a gravitational force?
The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.

Difference between electric forces and gravitational forces is that electrical forces include?
In case of electric force there are both repulsive and attractive. But in case of gravitational force, only attractive force. Electrical force between electric charges. Gravitational force between masses. In electric force we use a constant known as permittivity of the medium. But in gravitational force a universal constant known as Gravitational constant is used. Electrical force is very much greater than gravitational force.
On what does electric force depend that is analogous to mass in gravitational force?
Electric charge
Which is greater force from static and gravitational force?
Static electromagnetic force is many, many billions of times stronger than gravitational force.
What describes the electric forces inside a atom?
i love rosa! Please dont write answers if you dint have a real one. Thanks. JK
Why does the exert a stronger gravitational force than the moon?
Though the moon is closer, it is relatively small compared to the sun. The sun is much larger and exerts a far stronger gravitational force.
