An alpha particle is a nucleus of doubly ionized helium. It has mass of 6.68∗10−27kg and charge of 3.2∗10−19C. Compare the force of electrostatic repulsion between the two alpha particles with the force of gravitational attraction between them.
Given,
Mass of the alpha particle = 6.68∗10−27kg
Charge of the alpha particle = 3.2∗10−19C
We have,
Electrostatic Force (Ef)=14πϵ0q1q2R2
Electrostatic Force (Ef)=9∗109∗q2R2 = 9∗109∗(3.2∗10−19)2R2 ......... (i)
Gravitational force (Gf)=GM1M2R2
Gravitational force (Gf)=6.67∗10−11(6.68∗10−27)2R2 .......... (ii)
