Some time ago I asked about contact forces and was directed to read about the Pauli exclusion principle and the resulting L-J potential before a detailed explanation was given explaining why the electrons start interacting significantly, electromagnetically, even if the atom as a whole is electromagnetically equal, when the electrons come close. I've read these articles bit by bit for over a month now, and I think I understand them fairly well. Could someone give me a detailed explanation now of how the Pauli exclusion principle relates to the electromagnetic force?
