Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainPhysicsLaws of Motion
Which of the following is the correct order of forces?
Options
- AWeak force < gravitational forces < strong force (nuclear) < electrostatic force
- BGravitational force < weak force < (electrostatic) < strong force
- CGravitational force < electrostatic force < weak force < strong force
- DWeak force < gravitational force < electrostatic force < strong force
Correct answer
B. Gravitational force < weak force < (electrostatic) < strong force
Step-by-step solution
Strong nuclear force, electrostatic force, weak force and gravitational force are the four fundamental forces. Among these fundamental forces, strong nuclear forces which holds the two positive protons inside the nucleus are the strongest followed by electrostatic force. Also, gravitational force is weakest among all. Hence, correct order of force is Gravitational force
