Suppose the charge of a proton and an electron differ slightly. One of them is $-e,$ the other is $(e + \Delta e).$ If the net of electrostatic force and gravitational force between two hydrogen atoms placed at a distanced (much greater than atomic size) apart is zero, then $\Delta e$ is of the order of $[$ Given: mass of hydrogen $m_h = 1.67 \times 10^{- 27}\,\, kg]$
