Two nucleons are at a separation of one Fermi. Protons have a charge of `+1.6 xx 10^(-19) C` The net nuclear force between them is `F_1`, if both are neutrons, `F_(2)` if both are protons and `F_(3)` if one is proton and the other is neutron. Then

Options

A. `F_(1) =F_(2)gt F_(3)`
B. `F_(1) = F_(2) = F_(3)`
C. `F_(1) gt F_(2) gt F_(3)`
D. `F_(1) gt F_(2) gt F_(3)`

Answer

b

Explanation

Nuclear force acts between the nucleons of the nucleus, between proton and proton, neutron and neutron, proton and neutron. It is strong and a short range force (upto 1 fm)
