Electromagnetic interaction is a Fundamental Force of nature and is felt by charged Leptons and Quarks . Its Exchange Particle is the Photon (symbol γ) and the many forms of Electromagnetic Radiation are a manifestation of this interaction. Rutherford Scattering showed that the Electromagnetic Field has a greater range than the Weak or Strong fields due to the photons having no Mass , and travelling at the Speed Of Light . The fact that photons have no mass makes them easy to produce, and charged particles usually interact electromagnetically before other fields have a chance to operate. Electromagnetic interactions are long range attractions or repulsions between any particles or antiparticles that have charge. If the particles are attracted they stay together, because there is a continual exchange of photons. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
