Which of the following is the wrong statement? Coulomb's law describes the electric force that |
has inverse-square dependence on the distance between the charges together to form molecules can be repulsive or attractive binds the electrons of an atom to its nucleus. binds the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. |
binds the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. |
The correct answer is Option (4) → binds the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Wrong statement: Binds the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Explanation: The force that binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus is the strong nuclear force, not the Coulomb force. Coulomb's law applies only to electric forces between charged particles. |
