Short Answer
Imagine for a minute that the Moon is held in its orbit about the Earth by electrical forces rather than by gravitation. What electrical charges −Q on the Earth and +Q on the Moon are necessary to hold the Moon in a circular orbit with a period of 27.3 days? The Earth-Moon distance is 384 000 km and the mass of the Moon is 7.35 × 1022 kg.
