    Two protons are kept at a separation of 40 \[{{A}^{o}}\] is the nuclear force and \[{{F}_{e}}\] is the electrostatic force between them. Then

    A)  \[{{F}_{n}}>>{{F}_{e}}\]                              

    B)  \[{{F}_{n}}={{F}_{e}}\]

    C)  \[{{F}_{n}}<<{{F}_{e}}\]                              

    D)  \[{{F}_{n}}\approx {{F}_{e}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{F}_{n}}\] is stronger than \[{{F}_{e}}.\,{{F}_{n}}\] operates at very short range inside the nucleus as little as \[{{10}^{-15}}m\]. As in the given case two protons are kept at a separation of \[40\,\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\,{{F}_{n}}<<{{F}_{e}}\].
