Frictional force is a manifestation of which fundamental force of nature?Is it the electromagnetic force?If so how?

Frictional force is a type of force that resists the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another object or surface.
Frictional force is measured using a unit called a Newton (N), which is a measure of force. The amount of frictional force depends on the weight of the object and the nature of the surfaces in contact.
Frictional force is caused by the roughness of the surfaces in contact. When two surfaces come into contact, the microscopic bumps and ridges on the surfaces can interlock, causing resistance to motion.
Frictional force acts in the opposite direction of the motion of an object, making it more difficult for the object to move. This force can also cause objects to slow down or stop altogether.
Yes, frictional force can be reduced through methods such as lubrication, which creates a slippery layer between two surfaces, or by using smoother surfaces in contact. However, it cannot be completely eliminated as it is an essential force that allows us to walk, grip objects, and drive vehicles.
