Action-at-a-distance force

Action at a distance is the concept that an object can be moved without being physically touched by another object. Some types of action-at-a-distance forces are listed below.

Gravitational Force:

It is an attractive force exerted by large bodies such as planets and stars.

Example: The solar system is a result of the Sun’s gravitational force on the planets.

Discovery of Gravity

Magnetic Force:

It is the force that a magnetic object exerts on ferromagnetic materials or other magnets.

Example: The door of a fridge remains shut due to the magnetic force between the door and the body of the fridge.

Electrical Force:

It is the force experienced by all electrically charged particles in the universe. It can be both attractive and repulsive in nature based on the charge of the particles.

Example: The standing up of hair due to cold or any other sensation is an example of electrical force.
