Two identical particles each of mass M and charge Q are placed some distance apart. If they are in equilibrium under mutual gravitational and electric force then calculate the order of Q/M in SI system

Question

Arun · Answer

electric force depend upon the amount of charge not mass
let both particle are r distance apart
electric force is equal to
=kQQ/r^2
gravitational force is equal to
=GMM/r^2
if both are equilibrium then
kQQ/r^2=GMM/r^2
Q^2/M^2=G/k
here G=6.67x10^-11
k=9x10^9 Nm^2/C^2
so G/k=6x10^-11/9x10^9
2/3x10^-20
Q/M=(2/3)^1/2 x10^-10

Khimraj · Answer

r epulsive electrostatic force: F 1 =kQ^2/r^2 attractive gravitational force: F 2 =Gm^2/r^2 for equilibrium :F 1= F 2 kQ 2 /r 2 =Gm 2 /r 2 => Q/m = (6.6*10^-11/9*10^9) 1/2 => Q/m=0.8*10 -10 Hence, ORDER OF Q/m=10 -10
