Answer:
5.7 x 10^12 C
Explanation:
Let the charge on earth and moon is q.
mass of earth, Me = 5.972 x 10^24 kg
mass of moon, Mm = 7.35 x 10^22 kg
Let d be the distance between earth and moon.
the gravitational force between them is
The electrostatic force between them is
According to the question
1 % of Fg = Fe
q = 5.7 x 10^12 C
Thus, the charge on earth and the moon is 5.7 x 10^12 C.
