How are strong nuclear force and weak nuclear forces similar ?
Strong Nuclear Force: Strong nuclear force is about 100 times stronger than electromagnetism. These forces is also known as strong interactions. Strong nuclear forces can be applied in two aspects: One is on Larger Scale and other on Lower Scale. On larger scale of about 1 to 3 fm distance, it is the force that binds the nucleons together to form nuclei. On smaller scale of abut less than 0.8 fm distance, it is the force that binds quarks together to form nucleons that is protons and neutrons and also other particles like hadrons. Strong Nuclear Force Examples: Strong nuclear forces help in holding sub atomic particles of protons together and also the nucleons together at larger scale. Strong nuclear force leads to release of energy when heat is generated in Nuclear Power Plant to generate steam for generating electricity. Energy is released when a Nuclear Weapon detonates which is due to strong nuclear forces.
Thank you c:
Weak Nuclear Force Weak Nuclear Force is one of the four fundamental force. Electromagnetic force, gravitational force and strong nuclear force are the other forces. Weak Nuclear Force Examples Weak Nuclear Force is involved in many phenomenon in nature: Charged Current Nuclear Force: A charged electron or muon (lepton) with -1 charge absorbs W+ particle of charge +1 and is converted into neutrino of charge zero. Type of neutrino will be the same as that of lepton. A down quark can be converted into up type quark by releasing W- particle. An up type quark is converted into down type by absorbing W- particle or emitting W+ boson particle. A W boson particle is not stable. Therefore it will decompose or decay in a short time.
