The tidal forces are fairly strong in this case, since (1) Jupiter has a fairly large mass, and therefore a fairly large gravitational field, and (2) the moons are relatively close to the planet.
"Tidal forces" such as those that cause the tides in the Earth's oceans are due to gravity.
The important thing is that there are differences in the strength of gravity felt at various places on a planet or a moon.
For example, the side of a moon that's nearer Jupiter feels a stronger force than the far side. It's these gravitydifferences that produce the stresses.

Differentiate Jovian planet from terrestrial planet?
The four Jovian planets in our solar system are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The four terrestrial planets are Earth, Venus, Mars and Mercury. The difference between the Jovian planets and the terrestrial planets is that Jovian planets are enormous and made of gasses and ices while terrestrial planets are relatively small and made of rocks and metals. Other differences are that terrestrial planets have high densities, rotate slowly, have no moons or magnetic fields and have thin atmospheres (Earth is an exception because it has a moon and a magnetic field), while Jovian planets have low densities, rotate rapidly, have many moons and a magnetic field and have thick atmospheres.
Which Jovian planet generates the least internal heat?
Uranus generates the least internal heat among the Jovian planets. Its internal heat production is lower than that of Jupiter and Saturn.
Which jovian planets do not have internal heat source?
Uranus and Neptune are the two jovian planets that do not have a significant internal heat source. They receive most of their heat from the sun and do not generate as much internal heat as Jupiter and Saturn.
