yes they should

but the magnitude of force is extremely small
so in general and practical sense we consider that no force acts on electron due to gravitational attraction

Ya it dooes... but its magnitude is much lesser than the force applied on u by an air molecule when it hits u... not only earth... even u exhibit a force on d electron but it is negligible as d mass of electron is too small when compared to ur mass n its speed is much closer to d speed of light...


Not only electron... when u move ur finger slightly... all d stars in sky get a jerk... ( some what difficult to digest dis fact but it is correct according to newton's gravitational equation F = Gm1m2 / r2 )


For electron earth system M>>>m => F = 0 (approx.)


hope u got it...
