Answer:

To establish this relationship we must examine the potentials that these forces create. The electrical potential is described by

Ve = k q / r

The potential for strong nuclear force is

Vn (r) = - gs / 4pir exp (-mrc / h)

Where gs is the stacking constant and r the distance between the nucleons,

We can compare these potentials where the force is derived from the relationship

E = -dU / dr

F = q E
