Answer:
Electromagnetic force
Explanation:
There are four fundamental forces in nature:
- Gravity: it is the force that is exerted between any objects with mass. It is the weakest of all forces, so it is only relevant at planetary scales. It is always attractive, and it has an infinite range.
- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between charged objects and between magnets (it is responsible for electric fields and magnetic fields). It is the 2nd strongest force, and it is the force that holds atoms in a molecule together. It can be attractive or repulsive, and it has an infinite range.
- Strong nuclear force: it is the strongest of all forces. It is responsible for holding the nucleons together inside the nucleus, and it is attractive. It has a very limited range (), so it is relevant only at very small scales
- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for radioactive decays and neutrino interactions. It also has a very short range (
Looking at all these definitions, we see that the term that defines the force that acts between charged particles is the electromagnetic force.
