Electromagnetic Force. A Fundamental Force in Nature, The Electromagnetic Force Acts
What causes forces? Physicists think that all forces are caused by the exchange of particles.
... In the same way, the electromagnetic force is carried by particles called virtual photons.
Two negatively charged electrons will exchange these virtual photons and push each other
apart.
Anything containing electricity or magnetism. For example would be drinking water because
that is the result of the electromagnetic force holding those hydrogen and oxygen atoms
together.
The number one most common example of electromagnetism is light. All light are waves in
the electromagnetic field, from gamma rays, though x-rays, through visible light, and past radio
waves. The electromagnetic force is the most visible of the fundamental forces.
