Question 65: Atoms & Nuclei

Question

Two protons are kept at a separation of 40 $$\mathop A\limits^o $$. F$$_n$$ is the nuclear force and F$$_e$$ is the electrostatic force between them. Then,

Accepted Answer

Nuclear force F$$_n$$ are attractive in nature. As in the given case, the two protons are kept at a separation of 40 $$\mathop A\limits^o $$ (short range), hence in this range, nuclear force F$$_n$$ is much greater than the electrostatic force F$$_e$$.
i.e. $$F_n> > F_e$$

Answer

$$F_n< < F_e$$

Answer

$$F_n\approx F_e$$

Answer

$$F_n> > F_e$$

Answer

$$F_n= F_e$$
