Question

Consider the following two statements A and B and identify the correct option:
A) Centrifugal force is the force of reaction of centripetal force.
B) The force of attraction of revolving electron on the nucleus of an atom becomes centrifugal force.

• A. A is true but B is false
• B. A is false but B is true
• C. Both A and B are true
• D. Both A and B are false

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Both A and B are false

Centrifugal force is not the reaction force for centripetal force. It is just a pseudo force, on the particle moving in a circle.

The force of attraction of revolving electron on the nucleus of on atom is due to the presence of proton in the nucleus and this force becomes the centripetal force.
$\therefore$ Both the statements are false.
