Abbreviation. DNA, which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, is defined as a nucleic acid that contains the genetic code.
Starting in 1908, while a professor at the University of Chicago, Millikan worked on an oil-drop experiment in which he measured the charge on a single electron. J. J. Thomson had already discovered the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron.
The laws of the electrostatics were developed by Coulomb and are further detailed or subdivided into two as follows:
(1) The first one talks about the similarities in the charges of the particles and what happens to them. This states that like charges repel.
(2) The second one quantifies the field between two particles with equation showing that field is directly proportional to the masses and inversely to the square of the distance between them.
In this item, we can then say that the protons (having the same charges) will have to repel from each other in accordance to statement 1 of the law.
