The conversation between human and AI assistant.
We say that like charges repel each other. How do protons remain stable in a nucleus in spite of having like charges?
Can you explain to me how protons can remain stable in a nucleus even though they have like charges that should repel each other?
Yes, protons in a nucleus can remain stable due to the strong force, also known as the strong nuclear force, which is more powerful than the electromagnetic force that causes like charges to repel each other.
