It causes the protons in the nucleus repel each other.
the strong nuclear force doesn't fall off much in a small nucleus
Electrostatic force of attraction. Ya you know the force that attracts a +ve charged and -ve charged particles towards each other.
The strong nuclear force doesn't balance the electrostatic force.
Put simply, a nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, protons have a positive charge, this attracts the negative charge of the electron.
The electrostatic forces between the protons and the electrons keep it in orbit.
Neutrons. Both protons and neutrons transmit the strong force, but protons alone are not enough, due to their electrostatic repulsion.Neutrons.

Electrically the protons repel each other, right? So what keeps them united? The answer is that there is a stronger force between nucleons - protons and neutrons. This force is called the "strong force". The strong force between two protons is not strong enough to keep them together (against the electrostatic force); but if there are some neutrons present, the situation changes, because the strong force acts between protons, but also between protons and neutrons.
No voltage is "potential" the actual force of electricity is electrostatic force (electrons to protons etc.) Voltage is just measuring how much energy there is in the system based on how many electrons will flow.
There is a stronger force, stronger than the electrostatic force, that keeps nucleons (protons and neutrons) together. It is not enough to hold two protons together if they are alone, but the neutrons provide additional attraction. This force is known as the "strong force".There is a stronger force, stronger than the electrostatic force, that keeps nucleons (protons and neutrons) together.

Across teh period, the atomic number increases and subsequently the number of protons in the nucleus increases. hence the extent of electrostatic attraction also varies.
electrostatic forces
Two protons alone won't stick together - their electrostatic repulsion is too strong. If there are also neutrons involved, the strong force can become stronger than the electrostatic repulsion - for example, in the simplest case of Helium-3, two protons and one neutron will stick together. The neutron helps provide the strong force to keep the protons together; the two protons by themselves don't have enough attraction through the strong force to overcome the electrostatic repulsion.
The electrostatic force between two protons is a repulsive force, but its magnitude depends on how far apart the two particles are. The equation is F=kCq1q2/r2. In this equation, kC is Coulomb's constant (8.99*109N*m2/C2), q1 and q2 are the charges (in this case q1=q2=1.602*10-19C) and r is the distance between the two charges.
They are bound by nuclear force. At tiny distances, nuclear forces are much more significant in magnitude than gravity or electrostatic repulsion. The name of the force between protons in the nucleus is the "Strong Nuclear Force".
nope, but the triboelectric effect create an electrostatic charge
