Point out the three similarities and two differences between the electric and gravitational force. the electric force the force of gravity Similarities Proportional to product of properties: charges, q1 × q 2 , and masses, m1 × m2 , respectively. Inversely proportional to the square of distance between two point objects. Both forces are central: the direction of the forces is along the line connecting two point objects. Differences Can be both repulsive and attractive Always attractive Much stronger force Much weaker force
