3, 13 are correct.
6. The force is prop to 1/r2
if r changes by 3, the factor 1/r2 changes by 1/9 so moving the distance from 1 to 3 reduces the force to 1/9 th what it was.
21. The ampere was defined well before the e value was known.

Can you please help me with some and check my answers? Thanxs!
3.Which is stronger, the electrical force between an electron and a proton or the gravitational force between these particles?
-I got that the electrical force between an electron and a proton.
6.Two charges separated by one meter exert 1-N forces on each other. If the charges are pulled to a 3-m separation distance what will the force on each charge be?
-This is one I don't understand, my teacher says its suppose to be a ratio problem.
13.
Atomic physicists ignore the effect of gravity within an atom. To see why, calculate and compare the gravitational and electrical forces between an electron and a proton separated by 10^-10m?
-I got: 1.0162796 x 10^-47 and 7.620497955 x 10^-7
To get the answers I got, I used the mass of the proton and mass of the electron.
21. How does one Coulomb of charge compare to the charge on an electron? How do you think such a large difference arose historically?
-This one I don't understand.
