The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces in nature, responsible for various phenomena including electricity, magnetism, and light. It governs the interaction between electrically charged particles, such as electrons and protons. The other forces are the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear forces and gravity.
The electromagnetic force is a fundamental force, its effects manifest as the push and pull interactions between charged particles.
This means this force is not derived from anything else. It cannot be further broken down or explained by simpler forces.
Even though the nature of the electromagnetic force is not fully understood, classical physics and quantum mechanics can provide a precise understanding of its emergence from charged particles, its behaviour, and the interactions it governs.
It is one of the four most basic and essential forces in the universe. These four forces exist independently of each other, although they can interact and influence each other in certain situations.
