Is a weak nuclear force a short or long range force?
It's a short range force.
Which force has a longer range the electric force or the strong force?
The electric force has a longer range. The strong force, as the name implies, is strong, however, it only works for a short range, namely, the range of the nucleus.
What is stronger the nuclear force or electromagnetic force?
The strong nuclear force is, at short distances, FAR stronger than the electromagnetic force. If it wasn't, protons in the nucleus would fly apart.
Which force is greater an electromagnetic force or a strong nuclear force?
The strong nuclear force is responsible ofmaintainingprotons and neutrons within the nucleus (its range is short) while the electromagnetic force is responsible of maintaining the electrons around the nucleus.
Why the Coulomb force as compared to strong neuclear force increase at large mass numbers?
That's because the strong nuclear force only acts at very short distances.
Is a weak nuclear force a short or long range force?
It's a short range force.
What is the short range of the nuclear force of atoms?
Strong force or weak force? I'll assume strong force and say ~ 1.7 fm, which is approximately the diameter of a proton or neutron.
Which of the four fundamental forces of nature is responsible for keeping the earth in orbit about the sun?
electromagnetic - long range, either attractive or repulsive, moderateweak nuclear - short range, either attractive or repulsive, weakstrong nuclear - very short range, either attractive or repulsive, very stronggravity - long range, always attractive, very weak
Which force has a longer range the electric force or the strong force?
The electric force has a longer range. The strong force, as the name implies, is strong, however, it only works for a short range, namely, the range of the nucleus.
What causes the strong interaction?
Nuclear force are extremely strong because their magnitude is so high that a huge energy is required to divide a nucleus into its constituent. The relative strengths of gravitational (FG),electrostatic (Fe) and nuclear (FN) force acting in the nucleus are given below: FG = Fe = FN =1 : 1036 : 1038 However , they are short range forces ,they act only over a short range of distance.
'nuclear force are not electrical'explain?
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.
Which two forces are responsible for holding the atom together?
The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. Inside the nucleus, there is an electrostatic force of repulsion between the protons. Those protons have positive charges, and like charges repel. Also acting in the nucleus is a force of attraction called the nuclear force. It provides the nuclear binding energy to keep the nucleus together. This nuclear force is a short range force, and is so strong that it will overcome the effect of the force of repulsion between the protons.
What is stronger the nuclear force or electromagnetic force?
The strong nuclear force is, at short distances, FAR stronger than the electromagnetic force. If it wasn't, protons in the nucleus would fly apart.
Which force is greater an electromagnetic force or a strong nuclear force?
The strong nuclear force is responsible ofmaintainingprotons and neutrons within the nucleus (its range is short) while the electromagnetic force is responsible of maintaining the electrons around the nucleus.
What force only works on the microscopic scale?
The four forces are:gravity - very long range and always attractiveelectromagnetic - long rangeweak nuclear force - very short range, limited to atomic nucleusstrong nuclear force - very short range, limited to atomic nucleus
Why the Coulomb force as compared to strong neuclear force increase at large mass numbers?
That's because the strong nuclear force only acts at very short distances.
Does strong nucleus forces apply only over infinitely small distances?
Mathematically no, but the strength of the strong nuclear force decreases exponentially with distance, whereas gravitational and electromagnetic force each decrease by the square of distance between two applicable objects. Therefore at large enough distances, the strong nuclear force is much much weaker than the other two and can safely be treated as being non-applicable.
