Let \(F_{pp}, F_{pn}~\text{and}~F_{nn}\) denote the magnitudes of the net force by a proton on a proton, by a proton on a neutron and by a neutron on a neutron respectively. Neglect gravitational force. When the separation is \(1~\text{fm}\),

1. \(F_{pp}> F_{pn}=F_{nn}\)
2. \(F_{pp}= F_{pn}=F_{nn}\)
3. \(F_{pp}> F_{pn}>F_{nn}\)

Which of the following is a wrong description of binding energy of a nucleus?

1. it is the energy required to break a nucleus into its constituent nucleons.
2. it is the energy made available when free nucleons combine to form a nucleus.
3. it is the sum of the rest mass energies of its nucleons minus the rest mass energy of the nucleus.
4. it is the sum of the kinetic energy of all the nucleons in the nucleus.

\(E_1:\) total binding energy of initial nuclei
\(E_2:\) total binding energy of final nuclei
\(A_1:\) total number of nucleons of initial nuclei
\(A_2:\) total number of nucleons of final nuclei
Then:
1.  \(E_1>E_2\)
2.  \(E_2>E_1\)
3.  \(E_1=E_2\)
4.  \(\frac{E_1}{A_1}=\frac{E_2}{A_2}\)
