In physics, electromagnetism is an interaction that occurs between particles with electric charge via electromagnetic fields. The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is the dominant force in the interactions of atoms and molecules. Electromagnetism can be thought of as a combination of electrostatics and magnetism, which are distinct but closely intertwined phenomena. Electromagnetic forces occur between any two charged particles. Electric forces cause an attraction between particles with opposite charges and repulsion between particles with the same charge, while magnetism is an interaction that occurs between charged particles in relative motion. These two forces are described in terms of electromagnetic fields. Macroscopic charged objects are described in terms of Coulomb's law for electricity and Ampère's force law for magnetism; the Lorentz force describes microscopic charged particles.

विद्युत्चुम्बकत्व (Electromagnetism) या विद्युतचुम्बकीय बल प्रकृति में पाये जाने वाले चार प्रकार के मूलभूत बलों या अन्तःक्रियाओं में से एक है। अन्य तीन मूलभूत बल हैं - प्रबल अन्योन्यक्रिया, दुर्बल अन्योन्यक्रिया तथा गुरुत्वाकर्षण। विद्युत्चुम्बकीय बल को विद्युत्चुंबकीय क्षेत्र की सहायता से अभिव्यक्त किया जाता है।
