Consider the following statements A and B . Identify the correct choice in the given answer. A. p-n, p-p and n-n forces between nucleons are not equal and charge dependent. B. In nuclear reactor the fission reaction will be in accelerating state if the value of neutron reproduction factor A>1 .
Options
- ABoth A and B are correct
- BBoth A and B are wrong
- CA is wrong and B is correct
- DA is correct and B is wrong
Correct answer
C. A is wrong and B is correct
Step-by-step solution
The force acting between proton-neutron (p-n) proton-proton (p-p) and neutron-neutron (n-n) are always equal and charge independent, so statement A is wrong. If reproduction factor of neutron (A)>1 , then fission reaction will be in accelerating state, so statement B is correct.
