ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE - Force between charged particles, which accounts for electricity and magnetism.
Electromagnetic Force
(a) Fundamental force of nature that acts on all electrically charged particles.
Electromagnetic Force
A fundamental force that governs all interactions among electrical charges and magnetism. Essentially, all charged particles attract oppositely charged particles and repel identically charged particles.
electromagnetic force - (n.)
The force created by the interaction of electric and magnetic fields. The electromagnetic force can be either attractive or repulsive, and is important in countless situations in astrophysics.
The electromagnetic force is another of nature's basic agents. Any particle having a net electric charge, such as an electron or a proton in an atom, exerts an electromagnetic force on any other charged particle.
The electromagnetic force holds electrons in orbit around atomic nuclei, and is thus responsible for holding together all the material with which we are familiar.
electromagnetic force (Plasma Physics and Fusion Energy Glossary) One of the fundamental forces of interaction which influences charged entities.
Comparison with electromagnetic force
The gravitational attraction of protons is approximately a factor 1036 weaker than the electromagnetic repulsion.
A plasma is an electrically-conductive collection of charged particles, possibly together with neutral particles or dust, that exhibits collective behavior and that responds as a whole to electromagnetic forces.
A planet's defining physical characteristic is that it is large enough for the force of its own gravity to dominate over the electromagnetic forces binding its physical structure, leading to a state of hydrostatic equilibrium.
QCD was constructed on analogy to quantum electrodynamics (QED), the quantum theory of the electromagnetic force.
Before the time of 10-38 seconds after the Big Bang, the fundamental forces of the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, and electromagnetic force behaved in the same way under the extreme temperatures.
Light is electromagnetic radiation (or electromagnetic force) at frequencies that can be sensed by the human eye.
The electromagnetic forces keeping separate nuclei apart are gone (proportionally, if nuclei were the size of dust mites, atoms would be as large as football stadiums), ...
It is photons that transfer the electromagnetic force, they are gauge bosons.
Two of these are concerned with the innermost structure of atoms, and a third, the electromagnetic force, dominates the interaction of atoms with each other. The fourth, and by far the weakest of these forces, is gravity.
The properties of the gas are controlled by electromagnetic forces among constituent ions and electrons, which results in a different type of behavior. Plasma is often considered the fourth state of matter (besides solid, liquid, and gas).

But for a while it seemed that by certain subtle effects, electromagnetic forces could distinguish whether a frame was in motion of not.
Grand Unified Theories Theories which describe the behavior of the single force that results from unification of the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces in the early universe.
They rotate at the same rate as Saturn's magnetic field indicating they are affected by electromagnetic forces. They form about 104,000 kilometers from Saturn's center and extend out to the Cassini division.
As the schematic shows, gaseous matter pulled from a normal star forms a disk around the black hole. The gas is heated to temperatures of millions of degrees, and intense electromagnetic forces in the disk can expel jets of high-energy particles.
Occasional Œleaking¹ into the ionosphere through giant apertures then sparks bursts of auroral display. The solar system emerges as a finely structured framework of electromagnetic forces, ...
'F' might as well stand for "flummox", because unlike other rings, which are generally smooth and curved, the 'F' ring has lumps, knots, and kinks -- perhaps due to electromagnetic forces and the influence of little moonlets.
This would be a theory that combined the separate strong nuclear, weak nuclear, and electromagnetic forces into one single force described by this one GUT theory.
a result, their total mass may actually amount to no more than a single icy body of 100 to 200 km (60 to 120 some miles) across, as large as Saturn's moon Mimas. Spoke-like features have been observed which may be the result of electromagnetic forces ...
