Electromagnetism is the study of the electromagnetic force which is a type of physical interaction that occurs between electrically charged particles. The electromagnetic force usually shows electromagnetic fields, such as electric fields, magnetic fields, and light. A fundamental force in nature, the electromagnetic force acts between charged particles and is the combination of all electrical and magnetic forces. The electromagnetic force can be attractive or repulsive.
Scientific & Educational(1) The force that determines the flow of electricity; a difference of electric potential. (2) Electrical potential; voltage. Potential causing electricity to flow in a closed circuit. The measurement of the maximum potential difference in charge between point in circuits is called EMF or voltage. It is measured in volts. The electrical potential produced by a chemical reaction voltage. OR The force that causes movement in charge carriers (the electrons) in a conductor.
