Question

Q6/60 The strength of the coulomb forces of interaction is
(consider same separation for all)
Maximum for electron-electron interaction
Maximum for proton-proton interaction
Maximum for electron-proton interaction
Same in all cases​

Answer 1

Given that,

The strength of the coulomb forces of interaction for electron-electron interaction, proton proton interaction and electron proton interaction

Coulomb force :

The electrostatic force is equal to the product of charge divided by square of radius.

In mathematically,

$F=\dfrac{q_{1}q_{2}}{r^2}$

Where, q₁ and q₂ are charge

r = distance between the charges

We know that,

Like charges are show the attraction and unlike charges shows the repulsion.

The strength of the coulomb forces of interaction is minimum for electron-electron and proton-proton interaction because these interaction shows the repulsion.

The strength of coulomb forces of interaction is maximum for electron-proton interaction because these interaction shows the attraction.

Hence, The strength of coulomb forces of interaction is maximum for electron-proton interaction .
