Four Fundamental Forces of the Nature : Gravitational Force :

The gravitational force is weakest force in nature, but very long-ranged. Furthermore, it is always attractive. It acts between any two pieces of matter in the Universe since mass is its source.
Weak Nuclear Force : The weak force is responsible for radioactive decay and neutrino interactions. It has a very short range and. As its name indicates, it is very weak.
The weak force causes Beta-decay i.e. the conversion of a neutron into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. Electromagnetic Force
The electromagnetic force causes electric and magnetic effects such as the repulsion between electrical charges or the interaction of bar magnets.
It is long-ranged but much weaker than the strong force. It can be attractive or repulsive and acts only between pieces of matter carrying an electrical charge. Electricity, magnetism, and light are all produced by this force.
