MCQ practice · SSC Physics Board questions · Chapter 3: Force
Based on strength, which of the following is correct?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a electromagnetic > strong nuclear > weak nuclear > gravitational
- b strong nuclear > electromagnetic > weak nuclear > gravitational
- c gravitational > weak nuclear > strong nuclear > electromagnetic
- d weak nuclear > gravitational > electromagnetic > strong nuclear
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: b strong nuclear > electromagnetic > weak nuclear > gravitational
Strong is strongest, then electromagnetic, then weak nuclear, and gravity is last.
Why the other options are wrong
- a electromagnetic > strong nuclear > weak nuclear > gravitational: The strong force is a hundred times stronger than the electromagnetic force, so electromagnetic cannot come first.
- c gravitational > weak nuclear > strong nuclear > electromagnetic: This order is backwards: it puts the weakest force first and the strongest last.
- d weak nuclear > gravitational > electromagnetic > strong nuclear: Gravity is weaker even than the weak nuclear force, so it cannot sit second.
