Question
Write a note on electromagnetic (EM) force.
✓
Answer
Electromagnetic force:
- The attractive and repulsive force between electrically charged particles is called electromagnetic force.
- It can be attractive or repulsive.
- It is stronger than the gravitational force.
- Example: force of friction, normal reaction, tension in strings, collision forces, elastic forces, fluid friction etc. are electromagnetic in nature.
- Reaction forces are a result of the action of electromagnetic forces.
- Since majority of forces are electromagnetic in nature, our life is practically governed by these forces.
