Force question

Answer 1

Is Electric force infinite and strong force limited?

Answer 2

@ProfBrainstorm

Answer 3

you mean in range ?

well the electrostatic force decreases as the inverse square of distance and is considered to be a long range force

i'm not sure of the exact form for the strong force, maybe a very rapid exponential decrease - it only acts over distances comparable with the size of an atomic nucleus

also, the radiation field from an oscillating charge decreases as 1/r, although the energy radiated is proportional to amplitude squared, so that still falls off as 1/r^2

Answer 4

Distance wise for instance: Strong forces range is 10^-15 meters

Answer 5

I just cant find out how far electric force is s:

Answer 6

Like Strong force its range is just in the dimensions on the nucleus

Answer 7

how far ?
just tell it how it is, the electrostatic force falls by a factor of 4 when you double the distance from the charge.
it's a much gentler decrease than the exponential decrease of the strong force

Answer 8

the electrostatic force doesn't have a sharp cut off like the nuclear force

Answer 9

Erg See with the words they are making me use its confusing

Answer 10

The tell me to use
A The dimensions of the nucleus (which is strong force)
B The distances between Atoms
C Unlimited
D The distances between electrons and protons

Answer 11

If you're saying these are your choices for the range of the electric force, i would say C, unlimited
It depends whether you are considering the force between individual charges or the net force between lumps of electrically neutral matter.

Answer 12

They say nothing specifically :/

Answer 13

One more question though. Does strong force counteract the electric force between electrons and protons?

Answer 14

I know it can counter the repulsion between protons

Answer 15

the strong force is not felt by electrons

Answer 16

Alright thank you :D
