< Prev
Next >

A neutron star and a white dwarf star are both electrically neutral objects. If the electrostatic force is 10^36 times stronger than gravitational force at the particle level, why doesn’t this strength advantage manifest between these astronomical objects?

A

Equal numbers of positive and negative charges cancel out

B

Vacuum energy between stars blocks electrostatic interaction

C

Quantum effects suppress electrostatic forces at large scales

D

Stellar magnetic fields convert electric forces to gravity
