MCQ
In the Geiger-Marsden experiment, the force that scatters particles is:
- ANuclear force
- BCoulomb force
- CBoth A and B
- DGravitational force
✓
Answer
- Coulomb force
Explanation:
Coulomb force is responsible for scattering of particles. When the alpha particles (positive in charge) get closer to the nucleus, which is positive in charge, they get repelled through various angles.
