Question

The force between protons in the nucleus will b

• A. only nuclear
• B. only coulomb
• C. nuclear & coulomb
• D. coulomb & gravitational

Answer 1

The correct option is C nuclear & coulomb

The electrostatic force between an electron and a proton is given by Coulombs Law of force, that is directly proportional; to the product of charges of electron and the proton and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the two particles

Another force on proton is nuclear force as it the force exerted between numbers of nucleons. This force is attractive in nature which binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus together.
