Question

The force of attraction between an electron revolving around the nucleus is ___________ force.

• A. a magnetic
• B. an electrostatic
• C. a gravitational
• D. a mechanical

Answer 1

The correct option is B

an electrostatic

1. Electrons having a negative charge and protons having a positive charge will attract.
2. Electrostatic force of attraction works in the electron revolving around the nucleus because of the opposite charges of electron and proton.

So the force of attraction between an electron revolving around the nucleus is an electrostatic force. Hence option B is correct.
