The ratio of the energy released when \(2.5\times10^{21}\) atoms of uranium undergo nuclear fission and the energy equivalent of \(2\,\mathrm{mg}\) mass of uranium is nearly \[ \text{(Average energy released per fission of uranium nucleus }=200\,\mathrm{MeV}) \]

Question

Which of the following statements are correct?
(A) The electrostatic repulsive force between the protons can be greater than the nuclear force to bind the nucleons together inside a nucleus.
(B) The repulsive electrostatic force between protons in smaller nuclei is much smaller than the nuclear force between nucleons inside a nucleus.
(C) The gravitational force between nucleons is much smaller than the nuclear force between the nucleons inside a nucleus.
(D) The binding energy per nucleon between nucleons is almost constant because the nuclear force is a long range force.
