Fundamentally, the force of viscosity is
Options
- Aweak
- Belectromagnetic
- Cnuclear
- Dgravitational
Correct answer
B. electromagnetic
Step-by-step solution
Viscosity is the internal friction of a fluid that arises due to intermolecular forces between the adjacent layers of the fluid.
Intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding, and dipole-dipole interactions, are fundamentally caused by the electric and magnetic interactions between the charged particles (electrons and protons) within the atoms and molecules.
Therefore, the force of viscosity is fundamentally electromagnetic in nature.
