Q.

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=1.67×1027kg]

Detailed Solution

 Net charge on hydrogen atom q=(e+Δe)-e=Δe

 Equating gravitational force and the electrostatic force, we get 

Gmh2 d2=k(Δe)2 d2

6.67×10-111.67×10-272 d2=9×109(Δe)2 d2

Δe=2.06×10-37C
