Magnetism
State two evidences of the existence of earths magnetic field.
Check that the ratio $$ke^2$$ /G $$m_e\,m_p$$ is dimensionless. Look up a Table of Physical Constants and determine the value of this ratio. What does the ratio signify?
The given ratio is $$\displaystyle \frac{ke^2}{Gm_cm_p}$$
Where,
$$G =$$ Gravitational constant
Its unit is $$N\,m^2kg^{-2}$$.
$$m_e$$ and $$m_p=$$ Masses of electron and proton.
Their unit is kg.
$$e =$$ Electric charge.
Its unit is C.
$$k = A$$ constant
$$\displaystyle =\frac{1}{4\pi\in_0}$$
$$\in_0=$$ Permittivity of free space
Its unit is $$N\,m^2C^{-2}$$.
Unit of the given ratio $$\displaystyle \frac{ke^2}{Gm_cm_p}=\frac{[Nm^2C^2][C^{-2}]}{[Nm^2\,kg^{-2}][kg][kg]}$$
$$=M^0L^0T^0$$
Hence, the given ratio is dimensionless.
$$e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C$$
$$G=6.67\times 10^{-11}N\,m^2kg^{-2}$$
$$m_e=9.1\times 106{-31}kg$$
$$m_p=1.66\times 10^{-27}kg$$
$$\displaystyle \frac{ke^2}{Gm_cm_p} = \frac{9\times 10^9\times(1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 9.1\times 10^{-3}\times 1.67\times 10^{-22}}\approx 2.3\times 10^{39}$$
This is the ratio of electric force to the gravitational force between a proton and an electron, keeping distance between them constant.

The ratio of the electrostatic force of attraction to the gravitational force between the proton and electron of the hydrogen atom is of the order of
Two particles each of mass $$m$$ and carrying charge $$Q$$ are separated by some distance. If they are in equilibrium under mutual gravitational and electrostatic forces, then Q/m (in C/Kg) is of the order of:
The ratio of electric force to the gravitational force between two protons separated by a finite distance is of the order of:
