==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
The '''electromagnetic interaction''' is the mechanism by which all [[particle]]s with [[Electrical Charge|charge]] affect one another.

===About The Electromagnetic Interaction===
: The '''electromagnetic interaction''' is one of the 4 [[Fundamental Interactions|fundamental interactions]] governing how [[Subatomic Particle|subatomic particles]] affect one another.
: The '''electromagnetic interaction''' causes [[Positive Charge|positively charged]] [[particle]]s to [[repel]] one another, [[Negative Charge|negatively charged]] [[particle]]s to [[repel]] one another and opposite [[Electrical Charge|charges]] to [[attract]] one another.
: The '''electromagnetic interaction''' acts to [[repel]] [[proton]]s from one another in the [[Atomic Nucleus|atomic nucleus]].
: The '''electromagnetic interaction''' is mediated by [[photon]]s.

| style="height:20px; width:600px; text-align:center;" |This [[graph]] shows the strength of the [[force]] between two [[proton]]s in the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]]. The '''electromagnetic interaction''' between like [[Electrical Charge|charges]] is [[Repel|repulsive]] with a range of 0 to ∞. The strength of the [[force]] reduces [[proportional]] to 1/r<sup>2</sup>.
