Electricity in the short distances, gravity in the long distances.

Definitely gravity. Gravity effects everything, but there are a lot of things that aren't effected by electricity. Then again scientists are saying that a blot of electricity turned a few molecules into the first living being. I don't think it gets much more powerful than that.

It depends.
They both follow the inverse square law (decrease quite a bit as distance increases). When really small masses are involved, like a single electron, magnetism is more powerful. (in many physics problems dealing with masses this small, gravity can be neglected, the difference between the forces is so large). However, with larger masses, gravity is almost always stronger.

I'd say electricity. Both can kill you, but gravity needs aid from height and the surroundings. Electricity can be harnessed and applied easily.

Prof Zikzak is right.
At this very moment gravity is trying to pull you towards the centre of the earth. The atoms on the soles of your shoes, and the atoms in the ground you are standing on, both have negatively charged electrons in their outer electron shells. You have got the electro static repulsion between two sets of negatively charged particles to thank for the fact that gravity doesn't succeed in what it is trying to do.

Gravity is a very powerful force and it is bigger, but that is the problem. It spreads out its energy.
But with electricity it goes through something, (a conductor)
Gravity!!!

Electricity or @ least thats what I think ,but who knows maybe gravity is...

In physics, the electromagnetic force is millions of times stronger than gravity.

Hi,
Gravity starts with little power but increases the longer it is applied.
Electricity, starts with a lot of power but this diminishes the longer it is applied.
So to sum up, the answer to you question would be..When?
Hope that helps

Gravity, because without it there is no electricity.
