    Electromagnetism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Electromagnetism is the physics of the electromagnetic field, a field that exerts a force on particles with the property of electric charge and is reciprocally affected by the presence and motion of such particles. A changing magnetic field produces an electric field (this is the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction, the basis of operation for electrical generators, induction motors, and transformers). Similarly

    Electromagnetism is the branch of physics that studies the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Electromagnets are magnets that uses an electric current to attract metal. Electromagnets have many parts that make up them and are used in many things. Electromagnetism has a history that dates back over 200 years. The year 1700 was the first demonstration of an electromagnet, yet scientists didn't know much about electromagnetism (Bellis 1). In 1820, scientists had just started to get deep

    development of the theory of electromagnetism. The impact that his work had would go on to leave a legacy behind in the field of electromagnetism, geotechnical engineering, and friction for centuries to come. Unfortunately, he would later on in life fall ill with a serious, life-threatening fever and would die on August 23, 1806 at 70 years old. (1) Though he studied many fields throughout his career, the fields that he were known best for were the fields of electromagnetism, electricity, and friction

    of power to do things like power houses. The solenoid makes the electromagnetic field stronger causing it to do more and bigger tasks. Multiple scientist developed theories about electromagnetism. One of the most popular ones is the Maxwell Equations. The Maxwell equations are equations explaining electromagnetism and how it works. These equations were formed by different equations and experiments. According to (Gale, 2001, WWW)Albert Einstein James Clerk Maxwell “”set the platform for physics

    Human civilisation has dealt with magnetism for millennia, earliest evidence dating as far back as 1000 BC where the ancient Chinese civilisation discovered a naturally occurring magnetic ore, magnetite. This ore, commonly known as lodestone was used by the ancient Chinese as a geomagnetic compass, however, no one really knew what magnetism was at the time. For centuries on, we have had basic knowledge regarding electricity based upon static electricity found from rubbing amber and fur. However,

    placed on the wire: this is the motor principle and this is the principle behind the loud speaker. Hello, My name is Michael Trevorrow and you will be learning about the loud speaker and electromagnetism. But first, if you want to understand the loud speaker you have to understand electromagnetism. Well electromagnetism is simply ‘the phenomenon of the interaction of electric currents or fields and magnetic fields’. This will become clearer later. All right the loud speaker we all know what they look

    The fundamental forces in nature have been around for centuries. Tying everything together many scientist and physicist have came about to help with the theories of these fundamental forces which include gravitation, electromagnetism, strong, and weak forces. Physicist like Maxwell, Newton, Fermi, Chadwick, and Kepler, have made a strong impact on how people see the world today. These fundamental forces are what goes on in everyday life and what we still see till this day. The point we are going

    Research Paper Draft An expression states, “Curiosity killed the cat.” In the case of science, curiosity has helped figure out what exactly makes the world go around the sun and many other things that we could not live without knowing. Curiosity sparks an interest and is the reason for flying a kite in the middle of a lightning storm, it is the reason we have cars, computers and other machines. Throughout history, there are many famous scientists and chemists that have helped explain, and shape
