- $F_G \sim \frac{1}{r^2} $
- $F_E \sim \frac{1}{r^2}$
* $F_E$ can be positive and negative.
* Every positive charge likes to get surrounded by negative charges vice-versa.
* Because of this screening, the effective interaction between objects, is very weak compared to the gravitational force.
* The range of electromagnetic forces become smaller.
