How are the strong nuclear force and the eletric force different from each other?

Question

please help!

Answer 1

The strong nuclear force is just that, strong. It is mediated by a supposed different boson, the gluon, which has mass, where the electro-magnetic force is mediated by massless photons. The strong force has a very small range also, it falls off at about the radius of the nucleus, so about 10^-15m, someplace around there. The electromagnetic force, however, has an infinate range.

Answer 2

If the strong force represents The energy per unit distance between two nuleides such as a proton and neutrons at close proximity almost touching with a distance between them
of 2^-15meters. we hould expect it to be a significant force.
This force isequal to =(2.78 x10^32)x1(1.67x10^-27) x (1.674 x 10^-27)/4 x10^-30 = 1.498 x10^8 newtons.
The electrostatic gravity force which is the electric force between a proton and an electron at Bohr"s radius would be;
Electrical force equals to =(2.78 x10^32)x1.67 x10^-27)x9.1x10^-30/(5.29 x 10^-11)^2=1.51 *10^-4 newtons.
The difference between the two forces is that the nucleous of an atom consits of masses 2000 times that of the electron and are a closer distance apart resulting in a fantastic magnetude. They both obey the inverse distance squared proportionality rule.
For this reason the nuclear force is called the strong force.Nevertheless both types of forces are manifestation of the same phenomena reguarding micromasses.

Answer 3

The strong nuclear force holds protons together. The electric force would repel them. They do stay together, so the strong force is much stronger than electricity.

Answer 4

the strong nuclear force holds together the nucleus while electromagnetism has more to do with electrons and attraction between opposite charges

Answer 5

Gluons are actually massless, and falls off at the radius of the nucleus, not the atom. But the factor of 10^-15 is correct.

Answer 6

If we treat the magnitude of gravity to be a force of 1, the rest follow as;

Gravity 1
Weak 10^25
Electrical 10^36
Strong 10^38
