Question

Select the correct statement for nuclear force:

• A. Strong, short range, and charge independent
• B. Attractive, long range, and charge independent
• C. Strong, attractive, and charge dependent
• D. Strong, short range, and repulsive

Hint:

The nuclear force is short-range, meaning it only operates within the nucleus, and it does not depend on the electric charge of the particles involved.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Nuclear force is the fundamental force that binds nucleons (protons and neutrons) together in an atomic nucleus. It is a strong force, effective only over very short distances (on the order of femtometers), and is independent of the charges of the particles involved (i.e., charge independent).
