Friction is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. It is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces. A practical example of friction could be like when two objects rub together, friction causes some of the energy of motion to be converted into heat. This is why rubbing two sticks together will eventually produce a fire. read less
