Two protons are kept at a separation of ( 10 ~nm ). Let Fn and Fe be the nuclear force and the electromagnetic force between them
Options
- A( Fe < < F )
- B( Oe = Fn )
- CFe and Fn differ only slightly
- D( Fe Fn )
Correct answer
D. ( Fe Fn )
Step-by-step solution
(D) As separation is less than ( f m ), electromagnetic force is greater than nuclear force. Fe >> Fn. [Nuclear force is short range force acts. Within few fms]
