electromagnetic forces

Electromagnetic forces are fundamental interactions between charged particles. They cause objects with electric charges to attract or repel each other—like how opposite charges (positive and negative) pull together, while like charges push apart. These forces are also responsible for magnetic effects, such as the attraction of a magnet to metal. Electromagnetic forces operate over distances and are fundamental to many technologies, including electricity, motors, and communication devices. They are described by electromagnetic fields that fill space around charged objects, guiding how these objects interact without physical contact.
