What are the electrical forces within the atomic nucleus responsible for?

Answer 1

Electrical forces within the nucleus cause a force of repulsion between the protons since the protons are positively charged. This however, doesn't cause the nucleus to split on account of the strong nuclear attractive forces which act between the nucleons.

The electrical forces within the atomic nucleus are responsible for holding the protons together despite their positive charges, as protons repel each other due to their like charges. These forces are also responsible for binding the protons and neutrons together, forming the nucleus of an atom.
