1. Assertion (A): The Coulomb force is the dominant force shaping the large-scale structure of the universe. Reason (R): The Coulomb force between two charged particles is far stronger than the gravitational force between them. Which is correct?

 

Between two individual particles, the Coulomb force genuinely dwarfs gravity. But at cosmic scales, most matter is electrically neutral, so gravity, not the Coulomb force, actually dominates the universe’s large-scale structure.
