The force that is sometimes attractive and has an infinite range is the force of gravity. It acts between any two objects with mass and can extend over very large distances, such as between the Earth and the Moon.
The force of gravity is the weakest fundamental force but has an infinite range, meaning it acts over vast distances.
The four fundamental forces from shortest range to longest range are: Strong nuclear force - operates within the nucleus of an atom, holding protons and neutrons together. Weak nuclear force - responsible for certain types of radioactive decay and has a range comparable to the diameter of an atomic nucleus. Electromagnetic force - acts between charged particles and has an infinite range in a vacuum. Gravitational force - the weakest force but acts over infinite distances, affecting all objects with mass.
The range of gravity force is infinite, meaning that every object with mass in the universe exerts a gravitational force on every other object with mass, regardless of how far apart they are. However, the strength of the force decreases with distance according to the inverse square law.
The range of the electromagnetic and gravitational forces is infinite. The strong nuclear force acts over a very short range of about 10^-15 meters within the atomic nucleus. The weak nuclear force has a range of about 10^-18 meters.
The force described is the gravitational force. It is the weakest of the four fundamental forces in nature but has an infinite range, acting across vast distances between objects with mass.

There are basically four different forces in nature: the strong nuclear force, the weak force, electrical/magnetic forces (the two are closely related), and gravitation. Each force has its own set of rules. The strong nuclear force attracts protons and neutrons among themselves, in the atom's nucleus. This force has a very short range, it is an attractive force. The electrical force has an infinite range (of course it gets weaker at greater distances), it can be attractive or repulsive, and it acts on a different sets of particles. For example, a proton and a neutron will attract each other with the strong nuclear force, but they won't attract each other electrically, because the neutron is electrically neutral.

This force is more stronger than the electromagnetic force, but the range of this force is only limited to size of the nucleus, unlike electromagnetic force whose range is infinite! This nuclear force acts between the protons and neutrons, irrespective of the charge and its always strongly attractive! However, it has limitations of range! So, in the nucleus, there is a constant tussle between the repelling electromagnetic coulomb force of protons and the attractive strong nuclear force. In a nucleus like Uranium, which has almost 92 protons, coulomb repulsive force becomes too much for the nuclear force to contain. Subsequently, the nucleus is very unstable and radioactive decay occurs, while Uranium decays into a more stable element. Such an unstable nucleus like Uranium, when gently tapped by a neutron, splits up into two other nuclei through nuclear fission, releasing tremendous amount of energy in the process! This is the principle on which nuclear energy and nuclear weapons are based!

A force with inifinite range would for example be the gravitation. Since we are a great distance away from the sun, and we can still feel its pull it would be considered an inifinte range force a short range force for example would be the the glue force in the nucleus iof an atom. When particles are brought together until they almost stick together, this force will act upon them, if they separate only a fraction of the given distance, the force will not act upon them anymore. its like glue on your hands, when you put your hands together very closely , not touching yet, and separate them, nothing nwill happen, if you let them touch, they will stick until separated again.
The four forces are: strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and gravitational force.Both the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force have a very limited range, although very strong compared to the other two forces neither can reach outside the atomic nucleus.The electromagnetic force has an infinite range and can in principle act between all objects all the time, but the fact that it comes in opposite polarities (i.e. plus/minus electric charges, north/south magnetic poles) that attract and cancel each other, most objects have no net electromagnetic field and thus cannot act on any other object.The gravitational force has an infinite range and only one polarity (i.e. attractive), so although it is the weakest of all the four forces, it alone can act between all objects all the time.
Infinite.
It is the force between the nucleons within the nucleus. It is due to the exchange of mesons in between the nucleons. This force is a strange one and it has shortest range. It is some 1040 times greater than the gravitational attractive force between the nucleons.
