An EM field is not considered a force. It can however create a force if a conductive medium is moved through it.

Photon does not have charge then how does it have electromagnetic field?

Well one way to look at it is that a photon IS an electromagnetic field. The photon is the gauge particle for the electromagnetic force. Without photons there would be no electromagnetic interaction force, and therefore no electromagnetic fields.


Electromagnetic force occurs when?

an electromagnetic field interacts with charged particles.


Force of pushing or pulling between magnetic poles?

This is the Electromagnetic force. (Technically, it's the Lorentz force, which is the force on a charge due to an electromagnetic field, but either will do.)


What is electromagnetic flux?

The electromagnetic force is a force that is expressed as (or that "shows up as") a "field" or a "group of lines of force" around the source. Electromagnetic flux is a direct reference to those magnetic lines of force. Electromagnetic flux is the electromagnetic field or the group of electromagnetic lines of force around the source. All the following sentences say the same thing: The electromagnetic flux around the magnet was very high. The magnetic flux around the magnet was very high. The magnetic field around the magnet was very large. The flux around the magnet was very high. The field around the magnet was very large. There were a large number of magnetic lines of force around the magnet making the field strength very high.


What is the definition of eletromagnetic?

It depends what you are talking about... Electromagnetic field Electromagnetic force Electromagnetic radiation Electromagnetic spectrum Electromagnetic therapy Electromagnetic waves ...they each have different meanings.


What force moves the plunger when the solenoid is activated?

An electromagnetic field


What is a region where a magnetic force can be detected?

The magnetic field. If it's an electromagnet, the electromagnetic field.


What does the term emf stand for?

It could stand for Electromagnetic field, or Electromotive force.


Why Speed Of Light is not affected by Earth's Magnetic Field although Light is considered to be an Electromagnetic wave?

As light can also travel in vacuum so no extra force can change its direction.


How does electromagnetic induction works?

Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force across a conductor when it is exposed to a varying magnetic field. Basically it works because of electricity.


How can you create a vacuum in a given amount of space without sealing the environment?

Electromagnetic force field.


If the source of an electromagnetic force field is moved ten times closer to a person what would the strength of the field then be?

the same, just closer.
