Which force has the negligible effect on elementary particles?
Correct answer: D. Gravitational force
- A. Strong nuclear force
- B. Weak nuclear force
- C. Electromagnetic force
- D. Gravitational force
Explanation
While gravity affects all objects with mass, it's incredibly weak compared to the other three forces, especially at the scales of elementary particles. Its effects on particles are negligible in most particle physics contexts.
