Subject has range has carrier boson is a kind of has strength has definition

fundamental force force (relative to electromagnetism) One of four fundamental forces which mediate particle interaction.

electromagnetism infinite photon fundamental force 1 (relative to electromagnetism) The phenomena associated with electrical and magnetic forces. Electrical and magnetic forces are intimately related, since a changing electric field produces a magnetic field, and vice versa. Electromagnetic waves are an example of electromagnetism.
