pondered, “Why does the apple fall down instead of going up?” This question led him to realize that a force of attraction operates within the Earth and similarly among all celestial bodies. Later, Einstein made some technical revisions to this theory. However, the original theory is still regarded as a fundamental principle of nature in science. The experiment for the electromagnetic law was first conducted by Faraday in 1821. He demonstrated that the force of electricity is deeply connected to the force of magnetism. When a magnet is combined with movement, electricity is produced, and when the wave of magnetism and electricity is combined, movement occurs (January 6, 1980). For the first 50 years, these two laws were deemed sufficient for explaining all physical phenomena. However, at the beginning of the twentieth century, with increased knowledge about the internal structure of the atom and the discovery of particles smaller than atoms operating within them, a shift in physical theories began. This led to the theories of strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force. The nucleus of the atom is surrounded by electrons, which are significantly smaller and lighter than protons. Yet studies show that each electron carries the same charge as the heavier protons. However, both are opposites: electrons have a negative electric charge, and protons have a positive electric charge. Electrons orbit the outer regions of the atom so that there is a significant amount of space between them and the nucleus. However, both negative and positive charges are equal, which allows the atom to remain electrically neutral and stable.
