Two proton are kept at a separation of `40Å.F_(n)` is the nuclear force and `F_(e)` is the electrostatic force between them . Then

Options

A. `F_(n)ltltF_(e)`
B. `F_(n)~~F_(e)`
C. `F_(n)gtgtF_(e)`
D. `F_(n)=F_(e)`

Answer

A

Explanation

Nuclear force is much stronger than the electrostatic force inside the nucleus i.e ., at distances of the order of fermi At `40Å` , nuclear force is present . This is very high at this distance because nuclear force is not acting now and the gravitational force is very feeble.
`F_("nuclear")ltltF_("electrostatic")` in this case.
