3. Before 1930, neutron haven’t discovered yet.
There is dilemma of how p-p reside inside
the nucleus.
In 1932, James Chadwick discover neutron.
After that nuclear force came into existence.
Definition: a strong attractive force between
nucleons in the atomic nucleus that holds the
nucleus together.
4. Charge independent.
Very strong in nature.
Short range force.
Repulsive at vey short distance(~0.5 fm).
Saturated.
Non central.
Spin and angular momentum dependent.
Velocity dependent.
Exchange force.
5. When the two nucleon are interacting then
there is field associated with it and cause of
field is that the nucleon are exchanging the
quantum between them.
The exchange quanta is П meson.
In p-n interaction
p n ∏+ ∏+ n p
6. In n-p interaction
In p-p/n-n interaction
n p ∏- ∏- p n
p P’ ∏0 ∏0 p p’

8. Q: Pick up wrong statement (GATE-2009)
(a) the nuclear force is independent of electric
charge.
(b)the Yukawa potential is proportional to
where r is the separation between two
nucleon.
(c)the range of nuclear force is of the order of
10-18 -10-19 m.
(d) the nucleon interact among each other by
the exchange of meson.
