Expert Solution
Step 1

The force on a single proton due to gravitation (FG) is given by:

Electrical Engineering homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Where,

The mass of single proton is “mp”,

The gravitational acceleration is “g”, which in 9.8 m/s for earth.

The force on a single proton due to electric field (FE) is given by:

Electrical Engineering homework question answer, step 1, image 2

Where,

The charge of single proton is “Cp”, which in 1.6021×10-19 C.

The electric field magnitude is “E”.
