Answer:
Gravitational Force – Weakest force; but infinite range.
Weak Nuclear Force – Next weakest; but short range.
Electromagnetic Force – Stronger, with infinite range.
Strong Nuclear Force – Strongest; but short range.
Explanation:
- Gravitational Force is a weak force, but very long ranged. It is always attractive in mature. It acts between any two pieces of matter in the Universe since mass is its source.
- Weak Nuclear Force is responsible for radioactive decay and neutrino interactions. It has a very short range and as its name indicates, it is very weak in nature. The weak force causes Beta decay i.e. the conversion of a neutron into a proton, an electron and an anti-neutrino.
- Electromagnetic Force causes electric and magnetic effects such as the repulsion between like electrical charges or the interaction of bar magnets in a similar fashion of attraction & repulsion. It is long-ranged, but much weaker than the strong force. It can be attractive or repulsive and acts only between pieces of matter carrying electrical charge. Electricity, magnetism, and light are all produced by this force.
- Strong Nuclear Force is very short-ranged. It is responsible for holding the nuclei of atoms together. It is basically attractive, but can be effectively repulsive in some circumstances. The strong force is ‘carried’ by particles called gluons; i.e., when two particles interact through the strong force, they do so by exchanging gluons. Thus, the quarks inside of the protons and neutrons are bound together by the exchange of the strong nuclear force.
A gluon is an elementary particle that acts as the exchange particle (or gauge boson) for the strong force between quarks. It is analogous to the exchange of photons in the electromagnetic force between two charged particles.
Quark is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter.
