The ratio of coulomb's electrostatic force to the gravitational force between an electron and a proton separated by some distance is $2.4 \times 10^{39}$. The ratio of the proportionality constant, $K=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}$ to the Gravitational constant $G$ is nearly (Given that the charge of the proton and electron each $=1.6 \times 10^{-19}\; C$, the mass of the electron $=9.11 \times 10^{-31}\; kg$, the mass of the proton $=1.67 \times 10^{-27}\,kg$ ):
  • $10^{20}$
  • B
    $10^{30}$
  • C
    $10^{40}$
  • D
    $10$
