A charged cloud system produces an electric field in the air near the earth's surface. A particle of charge -2 \(\times\)  10-9 C is acted on by a downward electrostatic force of 3 \(\times\) 10-6 N when placed in this field. The gravitational and electrostatic force, respectively, exerted on a proton placed in this field are

  1. 1.64 \(\times\) 10-26 N, 2.4 \(\times\) 10-16 N
  2. 1.64 \(\times\) 10-26 N, 1.5 \(\times\) 103 N
  3. 1.56 \(\times\) 10-18 N, 2.4 \(\times\) 10-16 N
  4. 1.5 \(\times\) 103 N, 2.4 \(\times\) 10-16 N

Answer

(A) 1.64 10 -26 N, 2.4 10 -16 N
