Which force has a longer range, the electric force or the strong force?
Whether the electric force or the strong force has longer range of force.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The electric force acts between the oppositely charge particles. The strong force acts between the uncharged particles.
The electric force between the electrons and protons is very strong due to more electrons around the nucleus. The strong force acts between any types of particles. The distance between the subatomic particles are very less. So, the electric force between the charged particles is stronger than the strong force.
Conclusion:
Thus, the electric force has longer of force than the strong force.
