What is the effect of a net force on an object?
It causes the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.
What happens when two objects interact according to Newton's Third Law?
Each object exerts a force on the other that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
What is the effect of electromagnetic forces on charged particles?
They cause charged particles to experience forces, leading to attraction or repulsion.
What is the difference between action and reaction forces?
Action: Force exerted by object A on object B. Reaction: Force exerted by object B on object A. They are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, and act on different objects.
Compare electric and magnetic forces.
Electric Force: Acts on charged particles whether they are moving or stationary. Magnetic Force: Acts only on moving charged particles.
