**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Electromagnetic Forces**: Electromagnetic forces are interactions that occur due to electric charges. These forces are fundamental to the behavior of matter. 2. **Nature of Electric Charges**: Electric charges can be classified into two types: positive and negative. This classification is crucial for understanding how electromagnetic forces operate. 3. **Behavior of Charges**: The interaction between these charges leads to two possible outcomes: - **Attractive Force**: When opposite charges (one positive and one negative) come close to each other, they exert an attractive force. This means they pull towards each other. ...
