Give two differences between gravitational and electrostatic force |
|
Answer» Electrostatic force or Coulomb’s force is the force acting between two CHARGES. Force between similar natures (same sign) will always be repulsive, while the force between two unlike charges (opposite sign) will always be attractive. Example: The electrons of an atom are bounded to its nucleus because of the electrostatic force of ATTRACTION between the electrons and the positive nucleus
GRAVITATIONAL force:. it is force acting between two massesu.it is always attractive. intersecting fact both forces obey INVERSE square law but gravitational force is very weaker than electrostatic force . |
