What would the electric force of the Moon on the Earth be if the Moon had 10^52 electrons attracting an equal number of protons in the Earth? The Earth-Moon distance is 400,000km. Given the value you got (compare to gravity between the Earth & Moon), why do we ignore electrical forces at astronomical distances?

-What is the principle in this problem?
