4. The electric force between electric charges is much larger than the

gravitational forces between charges. Why, then, is the gravitational force
between the Earth and the Moon much larger than the electric force between
them?*
A. The electric force is small in comparison because charges are VERY small but the
gravitational force has to do with the mass of the Earth and Moon.
B. The electric charge is actually greater and the question is false.
C. The phases of the Moon determine the amount of electric and gravitational force.
