Question
Chapter 6, Problem 49R
To determine
To Explain: The gravitational force between Earth and the Moon is much larger than the electric force betweenEarth and the Moon, although the electric force between electric charges is much larger than the gravitational forces between the charges.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The electric force between electric charges is much greater than the gravitational forces between the charges.
In case of Earth and the Moon, these two bodies are electrically neutral and so the electric force between then is much less than the gravitational force, which is too large due to their huge masses.
Conclusion:
The gravitational force between Earth and the Moon is much larger than the electric force between the Earth and the Moon, because of their huge masses and they being electrically neutral.
