Options:

1043

1036

10-43

10-36

Correct Answer:

10-43

Explanation:

$\frac{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{g}}}{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{e}}}=\frac{\frac{\text { Gme me }}{\mathrm{r}^2}}{\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{\mathrm{e}^2}{\mathrm{r}^2}}$

$=\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times\left(9 \times 10^{-31}\right)^2}{9 \times 10^9 \times\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right)^2}=10^{-43}$
