Merge?

This seems simerlar to other articles including Electromagnetic field and Electromagnetism could we do a merge? The lack of activity on the talk pages implies this page is not used much. Alan2here 20:42, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

These are both bad ideas. The electromagnetic force page has over 70 articles connected to it and it is one of the four fundamental forces; there's also articles on electrostatic force, electromotive force, electric force, magnetic force, etc., they are each specfic terms and do not need merging. --Sadi Carnot 16:09, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this, merging the articles would produce a mammoth of an article IMO. --ScienceMind (talk) 19:23, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and merged this article in to Electromagnetism using the following rationale:

Although there are articles on electrostatic force, electromotive force, electric force, magnetic force, etc, those articles describe various subsets of Electomagnetism, whereas the Electromagnetic force is Electromagnetism.
More than half of this content was duplicated in that article already.

Would it be posible to link this to Induced EMF from phonominon like lightning? SkippyUK 11:10, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
