Change and the Electromagnetic Force

Electromagnetic force, as many of people have already mentioned in their posts, is basically the attraction between two oppositely charged particles. On a less scientific definition however, it cold be generally summed up as opposites attract. This relates to many things on an atomic level, from how their nucleus stays together and how the atoms bond together in ionic, covalent, or metallic bonding. In our lives however, this still affects us on a bigger scale. In a literal sense, magnets affect us much in our lives. Like Kendall and Troy said, magnets are a very obvious example of electromagnetic force, they are attracted to the opposite charge of the other magnet, but repell the other side. They also affect us on a daily basis. Not only are they used to stick on the fridge, but they are also used to keep the fridge latched and shut. They are also used much in industrial uses and many other things. I sort of disagree with what some of my peers have mentioned about how men and women attract because they are opposites. I mean yeah, they are opposites and they do attract, but i'm not sure that because not all men are attracted to all women and vice versa that it is the best example. I liked the example that Troy used about compasses because they are extremely relevant in our lives. Without compasses we would be lost! (bad pun) But really, they are very necessesary, especially in things like navigation. I thought it was interesting how Adam compared it to the solar system. It seems like a good example, because like what Mr. Voight was talking about today the issues with gravity seem similar to those with electromagnetic force. Without electromagnetic force, atoms would not bond and we would not exist!
