Gravity acts on Mass, not electric charge.And repel when there is a gravitational force
Does the electrostatic force stay the same because the charge of the proton and electron are the same as well as the coulomb constant and radius?
Coulomb's Law is a fundamental law of electrostatics that describes the force between two charged particles. It states that the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
To calculate the force between two charges using Coulomb's Law, you need to know the magnitude of the charges and the distance between them. The equation is F = k * (Q1 * Q2)/d^2, where F is the force, k is the Coulomb's constant (9 x 10^9 N*m^2/C^2), Q1 and Q2 are the charges, and d is the distance between them.
The unit of force in Coulomb's Law is Newtons (N). This is the SI unit of force and is equivalent to 1 kg*m/s^2.
Yes, Coulomb's Law can be used to calculate the force between any type of charge, whether it is positive or negative. The only difference is that the force will be attractive for opposite charges and repulsive for like charges.
Coulomb's Law and Newton's Law of Gravitation are both inverse-square laws that describe the force between two objects. However, Coulomb's Law applies to electric charges, while Newton's Law of Gravitation applies to masses. The main difference is that electric charges can have both attractive and repulsive forces, while masses only have attractive forces.
