Some field interactions which may be seen in terms of virtual particles are:
* The [[Coulomb force]] (static electric force) between electric charges. It is caused by the exchange of virtual [[photon]]s. In symmetric 3-dimensional space this exchange results in the [[inverse square law]] for electric force. Since the photon has no mass, the coulomb potential has an infinite range
* The [[magnetic field]] between magnetic [[dipole]]s. It is caused by the exchange of virtual [[photon]]s. In symmetric 3-dimensional space, this exchange results in the inverse cube law for magnetic force. Since the photon has no mass, the magnetic potential has an infinite range. Even though the range is infinite, the time lapse allowed for a virtual photon existence is not infinite.
* [[Electromagnetic induction]]. This phenomenon transfers energy to and from a magnetic coil via a changing (electro)magnetic field.
