Coulomb's law for electrostatic force ...

Coulomb's law for electrostatic force between two point charges and Newton's law for gravitational force between two stationary point masses, both have inverse square dependence on the distance between the charges`//`masees (a) compare the strength of these forces by determining the ratio of their maagnitudes (i) for an electron and as proton (ii) for two protons (b) estimate the accelerations for election and proton due to electrical force of their mutal attraction when they are 1 A apart.
