COMEDK · Physics · 17. Electrostatics
Identify the wrong statement in the following. Coulomb's law correctly describes the electric force that
- A binds the electrons of an atom to its nucleus.
- B binds the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
- C binds atoms together to form molecules.
- D binds atoms and molecules to form solids.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) binds the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to Coulomb's law, electrostatic force acts only between two charge particles. Neutron is a neutral particle, therefore Coulomb's law is applicable only for protons.
