Characteristics of Nuclear Force – Rankers Physics

Nucleus: Practice Problem & Solution

The correct statement regarding nuclear force is
It is short range and charge dependent.
It is long range and charge dependent.
It is short range and charge independent.
It is long range and charge independent.

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Nucleus. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Nuclear forces are very short-range forces (acting within femtometers) and they are charge independent, meaning the force between proton-proton, neutron-neutron, and proton-neutron is approximately the same.
