NEET 2017 Physics Coulomb's Law MCQ Question
Suppose the charge of a proton and an electron differ slightly. One of them is –e, the other is (e + Δe). If the net of electrostatic force and gravitational force between two hydrogen atoms placed at a distance d (much greater than atomic size) apart is zero, then Δe is of the order of [Given mass of hydrogen mₕ = 1.67 × 10⁻²⁷ kg]
10⁻²³ C
10⁻³⁷ C
10⁻⁴⁷ C
10⁻²⁹ C
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Balancing the electrostatic and gravitational forces gives the order of Δe by equating the forces and solving for Δe.
