Strong Nuclear Force Characteristics – Rankers Physics

Nucleus: Practice Problem & Solution

Assertion (A): Strong nuclear force is fundamental quark-quark interaction. Reason (R): Strong nuclear force is shortest range force in nature.  
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

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

The strong nuclear force is a fundamental interaction between quarks, mediated by gluons. So (A) is true. It also has the shortest range among all fundamental forces. So (R) is true. However, the range of the force doesn't explain its fundamental nature as a quark interaction.
