In particle physics, the electroweak interaction or electroweak force is the unified description of two of the fundamental interactions of nature: electromagnetism (electromagnetic interaction), and the weak interaction. Although these two forces appear very different at everyday low energies, the theory models them as two different aspects of the same force.
