MCQ
In the Geiger-Marsden experiment, the force that scatters particles is:
- ANuclear force
- ✓Coulomb force
- CBoth $A$ and $B$
- DGravitational force
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Coulomb force
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.
