Select the correct statement for nuclear force:

strong, short range and charge independent

The correct answer is Option (1) → strong, short range and charge independent

• Nuclear force is one of the strongest force in nature, responsible for binding protons and neutron in the nucleus.
• It operates only ever a short range (on order < $10^{-15}m$) and beyond this range, the force rapidly diminishes.
• The nucleus force act equally on any pair of nucleons and is not affected by charge of the nucleons.
