Which of the following statements about the gravitational constant is true ?
It is a force
It has no unit
It has same value in all systems of units
It does not depend on the nature of the medium in which the bodies are kept
On an electron in an atom both electric and gravitational forces are collinear we neglect gravitational force (FG) in comparision to electric force (FE ), because
FE > FG
FN > FE
FE >> FG
FN >> FG
