Question

Measurements show that a honey bee in active flight can acquire electrostatic charge as great as 93 pc.

What is the ratio of this electro static forest to the gravitational force between the two .14 gram bees? (Fe/Fgrav)

Now suppose the distance between the 2 bees is doubled to 24 cm what is the ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force between the 2 bees? (Fe/Fgrav)

Finally spills the distance between the 2 bees is cut in half to 6 cm what is the ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force between the 2 bees?

electrostatic force between the 2 bees=5.4×10^-9 @12cm apart
