Electromagnetic Forces

Mr. Anderson's video on electromagnetic force explains its role as one of the four fundamental forces, alongside gravity, strong, and weak nuclear forces. Electromagnetism operates on all scales but is most dominant at the human scale. The video covers the interaction of electric charges, magnetic forces, and their applications, such as electromagnets and generators. It highlights the differences between electromagnetism and gravity, emphasizing the strength of electromagnetic forces. Coulomb's Law is introduced to quantify these forces, and the video concludes with a demonstration of electromagnetism's impact at the human scale.
