Two electrons are located 5.0×10−10 m5.0\times10^{-10}\,\text{m} apart inside a hydrogen atom. (i) Calculate the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them. (ii) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force between them. (iii) Determine the ratio Felectrostatic/FgravitationalF_{\text{electrostatic}}/F_{\text{gravitational}} and comment on which interaction dominates at this distance.
