Which fundamental force acts on particles with electric charge?

Quick Answer

The electromagnetic force acts on particles with electric charge. It can attract opposite charges and repel like charges.

The Full Story

Electric charge is the property that makes particles respond to the electromagnetic force. This interaction governs static electricity, magnets, atoms, light, and nearly all everyday forces except gravity. In classical physics, electric and magnetic effects were treated separately until Maxwell unified them. In quantum physics, the force is transmitted by photons and described with remarkable accuracy by quantum electrodynamics.

Key Facts

1.Charged particles respond to electromagnetism
2.Like charges repel and opposite charges attract
3.Quantum electrodynamics describes the force at the particle level
