Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental forces in Nature. Electric and magnetic fields affect us in more ways than it is possible to list. This is true across all scales, from the very small, such as the electric impulses that control our bodies, to the very large, such as the magnetic field of the Earth that protects us from the ionized Solar wind. In fact, electric and magnetic fields are important throughout the cosmos, helping to form stars and providing support against gravitational collapse in galaxies.

电磁力是自然界四种基本力之一。 电场和磁场以多种方式影响我们，无法一一列举。 这在所有尺度上都是正确的，从非常小的尺度，如控制我们身体的电脉冲，到非常大的尺度，如保护我们免受电离太阳风影响的地球磁场。事实上，电场和磁场在整个宇宙中都很重要，有助于形成恒星，并为星系的引力坍缩提供支持。
