Here two types of forces occur, i.e electric force and gravitational force.
Electric force is depending on the charges where as gravitational force is depending on the
masses bc3 charges are opposite all the forces are attractive.
bc3 the proton have more mass compared to electron, large force is applied on proton. So proton
and neutron will collide first

29. The load shown in the figure is supplied by a 400 V (line to line). 3-phase source (RYB
sequence). The load is balanced and inductive, drawing 3464 VA. When the switch S is in
position N, the three watt-meters W1, W2 and W3 read 577.35 W each. If the switch is moved to
position Y, the readings of the watt-meters in watts will be:
(A) W1  1732and W2  W3  0 (B) W1  0, W2  1732and W3  0

Exp: If the switch closed w.r.to „Y‟ the potential across the wattmeter “W 2” will be zero and hence
W2 = 0. Whereas W1 and W2 measures same reading.
