Which of the following statements about nuclear forces is NOT true?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement (ii) is NOT true: Nuclear force is NOT weaker than Coulomb force — it is much STRONGER than the Coulomb force at short distances (femtometre range). The nuclear force is the strongest of all fundamental forces at short range ($\sim 100$ times stronger than Coulomb force at $r \sim 1$ fm). This is why it can hold positively charged protons together in the nucleus despite their mutual repulsion.
