Question

How coloumb law true for atomic and nuvlear distance?

Answer 1

Coulomb's law is not true for nuclear size distance <10^-12m as when the distance is less than this the nuclear force dominates over electrostatic forces. Modern nuclear theory holds that nucleons (protons and neutrons) are held together within an atom's nucleus by the presence of additional particles.

Answer 2

Answer:

Coulomb's law is true for all distances whether it is small and large. Hence it is called a long range force.
