Fundamental forces in base physical theories are

  • Electromagnetism (that is the essential cause of interaction between atoms and molecules, thus the cause of almost all the properties of matter as we know it, besides the source of electromagnetic waves like radio and light waves);
  • Gravitation (that is the driving force of interaction between cosmic masses like planets, stars, galaxies and so on, besides the cause of gravitational attraction on the earth surface);
  • Color forces (that are the interactions among quarks in the nucleons);
  • Beta forces (causing the emission or absorption of electrons from nucleons transforming neutrons in protons and vice versa ).

The so called quantum standard theory collect under the same theoretical framework all the forces, but gravitation. Thus, under a fundamental point of view, the electromagnetic force is a manifestation of a more fundamental force regulating interaction between elementary particles and macroscopic bodies. Only gravitation at present appears as a completely different force.

All attempt to integrate gravitation under a general quantum theory have been a failure for a fundamental theoretical reason (that is not easy to explain simply) and perhaps a great step is needed in the general physical theory to overcome this point, if this will be possible a day, that is all but obvious.

How are electric and magnetic forces similar to gravitational force?

Electric, magnetic, and gravitational forces are all fundamental forces of nature that act over a distance between objects. They all follow the inverse square law, meaning the force weakens as the distance between objects increases. Additionally, they are all vector forces, meaning they have both magnitude and direction.


Is gravity and magnetic forces the same?

No, gravity and magnetic forces are not the same. Gravity is a force of attraction between objects with mass, while magnetic forces are due to the presence of moving electric charges. Gravity acts on all objects with mass, while magnetic forces act on objects with electric charge.


What The electric force between two objects depends on all of the following except what?

The electric force between two objects does not depend on the objects' mass. It depends on their charges and the distance between them.


How is gravity similar to electic and magnetic forces?

Gravity, electric, and magnetic forces are all fundamental forces of nature that act over a distance and follow an inverse square law. They can be attractive or repulsive based on the charges or masses involved. However, gravity is always attractive, while electric and magnetic forces can be either attractive or repulsive.


Gravity friction and air resistance are all examples of what?

These are all examples of forces that act on objects and affect their motion. Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other, friction opposes the motion of objects sliding against each other, and air resistance slows down the motion of objects moving through the air.

What is true about the role electric forces play in matter?

Electric forces are responsible for holding atoms and molecules together. Atoms and molecules are the building blocks of matter, and require both attractive and repulsive forces to maintain balance. Therefore, electric forces are the foundation for the existence of all matter.

What are examples of electric force?

Well, there are essentially two forces in an atom. They are the strong force (which holds a nucleus together) and the electric force, which holds electrons in an atom. In short, this works because positive and negative charges attract each other. Because the nucleus (protons and neutrons) is positive, and the electrons surrounding it are negative, they are attracted. The result is that the electrons don't fly off in all directions! Because this force describes one specific phenomenon, I can't really give an example. However, if the question meant "what's an example of electrons having an impact in atoms", then I would go with lightning. This happens when negatively charged atoms (electrons!) build up at the bottom of a cloud, and gain enough energy to 'fly' across the ionized air to the ground, which is positively charged due to the repulsion of electrons
