Inside an atom's nucleus there is a neutron, which has no charge, therefore no attractive or repulsive forces. The proton carries a positive charge, though, and repels the negative charge of the electron particle which exists somewhere outside of the nucleus.

I'm yet of the old technology which thinks that protons and electron attract. Of course, that doesn't explain why the electron don't crash into the proton, but that's another story.

What is the attraction and repulsion forces between subatomic particles?

attraction forces between the electrons of one atom and the nucleus of the other atom are balanced by the repulsive force caused by the two + charged nuclei as they are forced together~attractive forces have a little attraction for the atoms.

It is the repulsive or attractive force produced between the charges at rest.


Electrical and gravitational forces follow similar equations with one main difference?

How do forces between between electrical charges differ from forces between masses?

Gravitational forces are always attractive. Electrical charges are repulsive for same-type charges, and attractive for opposite-types.


What force gravitational or electrical repels as well as attracts?

The gravitational force is only attractive. Electric and magnetic forces can be both attractive and repulsive.


What is manetism?
