Suppose EE, GG, and NN denote the magnitudes of the electromagnetic, gravitational, and nuclear forces between two electrons at a specific separation. Which of the following is correct?

Options

  1. AE>N>GE>N>G
  2. BN>E>GN>E>G
  3. CE>G>NE>G>N
  4. DG>N>EG>N>E

Correct answer

C. E>G>NE>G>N

Step-by-step solution

Electrons are leptons and do not participate in strong nuclear interactions. Therefore, the magnitude of the nuclear force between two electrons is zero, i.e., N=0N = 0.

The electromagnetic force EE between two electrons is much greater than the gravitational force GG between them. For two electrons, the ratio of the electromagnetic force to the gravitational force is approximately 104210^{42}, which means E>GE > G.

Since G>0G > 0 and N=0N = 0, the correct order of the magnitudes of the forces is E>G>NE > G > N.
