Suppose the charge of a proton and an electron differ slightly. One of them is \(\text- e\) and the other is \((e+\Delta e)\). If the net of electrostatic force and gravitational force between two hydrogen atoms placed at a distance \(d\) (much greater than atomic size) apart is zero, then $$\(\Delta e\) is of the order: [Given the mass of hydrogen, ${}_{}$\(m_h = 1.67\times 10^{-27}~\text{kg}\)]
1. \(10^{-20}~\text{C}\)
2. \(10^{-23}~\text{C}\)
3. \(10^{-37}~\text{C}\)
4. \(10^{-47}~\text{C}\)
