The ratio of coulomb's electrostatic force to the gravitational force between an electron and a proton separated by some distance is $2.4 \times 10^{39}$. The ratio of the proportionality constant, $K=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}$ to the Gravitational constant $G$ is nearly (Given that the charge of the proton and electron each $=1.6 \times 10^{-19}\; C$, the mass of the electron $=9.11 \times 10^{-31}\; kg$, the mass of the proton $=1.67 \times 10^{-27}\,kg$ ):

Two positive ions, each carrying a charge $q,$ are separated by a distance $d.$ If $F$ is the force of repulsion between the ions, the number of electrons missing from each ion will be ($e$ being the charge on an electron)
A charge $q$ is placed at the centre of the line joining two equal charges $Q$. The system of the three charges will be in equilibrium, if $q$ is equal to
Positive point charges are placed at the vertices of a star shape as shown in the figure. Direction of the electrostatic force on a negative point charge at the centre $O$ of the star is
Two small spheres each having the charge $ + Q$ are suspended by insulating threads of length $L$ from a hook. This arrangement is taken in space where there is no gravitational effect, then the angle between the two suspensions and the tension in each will be
How did Coulomb find the law of value of electric force between two point charges ?
