Electrodynamics is a fundamental branch of physics focusing on the behavior of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions with charged particles. It encompasses principles like Coulomb's Law, the Lorentz Force, and Faraday's Law, unified under Maxwell's Equations. This field is pivotal for technologies such as electric motors, generators, and telecommunications, and extends into quantum electrodynamics (QED) for atomic-level interactions.
