Question

Is strong nuclear force and electrostatic force are equal?

Answer 1

The nonexclusive list of similarities:

Both are fundamental forces, governing interactions between elementary particles. And that is about it regarding the similarities.Both are mediated by bosons (this actually stands for all fundamental forces)Both are very present in everyday life.

Some differences are:

Different kinds of charge interact via these two kinds of force. A particle can be electroneutral, but still interact via the strong nuclear force (the neutron is only one of the many examples). The opposite is also true - some electromagnetically interacting particles, such as the electron, are unaffected by the strong force (they are color-neutral).The boson mediators are different. The EM interaction is mediated by photons, which are massless, electroneutral and color neutral. The strong interaction is mediated by gluons, which are massive, electroneutral and color-charged.At the macroscopic level, the electromagnetic force expresses itself in a variety of ways, including as an attractive or repulsive force, or as a force interacting with the motion of electric charges. Regarding the macroscopic manifestations of the strong nuclear force so far we can only say with certainty that they are attractive
