What type of force results when two objects that have electric charges interact?

  1. Electromagnetic Force

  2. Frictional Force

  3. Nuclear Force

  4. Thermal Force

The correct answer is: Electromagnetic Force

When two objects with electric charges interact, they exert a force on each other known as the electromagnetic force. This is because electric charges create electric fields around them and these fields can interact with each other, resulting in a force. B Frictional Force is incorrect because this type of force occurs due to the resistance between two objects that are in contact with each other, not due to electric charges. C: Nuclear Force is incorrect because this force only occurs between the subatomic particles within an atom, not between objects with electric charges. D: Thermal Force is incorrect because this type of force refers to the movement of heat or energy between objects, not the interaction between electric charges. Therefore, A: Electromagnetic Force is the correct answer in this scenario.
