What is difference between Electrostatic force and nuclear force

Electrostatic force

1. Electrostatic force acts between charged particles only.
2. Electrostatic force is a long range force.
3. A proton can interact with all the protons within the nucleus through electrostatic force.
4. Electrostatic force is a weak force.

Nuclear force

1. Nuclear force acts between the nucleons and it is independent of the charge.
2. Nuclear force is short range force.
3. A nuleon can interact with a few of its neighboring nucleons only.
4. Nuclear force is a strong force.
