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 $= 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \; kg$):

  • A
    $10^{20}$
  • B
    $10^{30}$
  • C
    $10^{40}$
  • D
    $10$
