how will the potential energy of nucleons decreases with increase in nuclear force
The potential energy of nucleons, which include protons and neutrons, decreases as the nuclear force increases. The nuclear force is the strong attractive force that binds nucleons within the nucleus, overcoming the repulsive forces between protons. A stronger nuclear force results in a lower potential energy due to enhanced binding energy, making it more difficult to separate nucleons. Conversely, a weaker nuclear force leads to higher potential energy and increased instability, potentially resulting in radioactive decay.
