electromagnetic force
Light and magnetism
Electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature, responsible for interactions between electrically charged particles.
It governs electricity, magnetism, and light, holding electrons in orbit around atomic nuclei and binding atoms into molecules.
Nearly every everyday force you experience—friction, tension, the solidity of objects—is electromagnetic at the atomic level.
