Electromagnetic Study Guide

Welcome to the study guide for the topic "Electromagnetic". In this guide, we will explore the fundamentals of electromagnetism, including what it is, how it works, and its real-world applications.

What is Electromagnetism?

Electromagnetism is a branch of physics that deals with the relationship between electric currents and magnetic fields. It describes the interaction between electrically charged particles and magnets.

How Does Electromagnetism Work?

Electromagnetism is based on the concept that electric currents create magnetic fields and that changing magnetic fields create electric currents. This relationship is described by Maxwell's equations, which form the basis of classical electromagnetism.

Real-World Applications of Electromagnetism

Electromagnetism has numerous practical applications in everyday life and technology. Some common examples include:

Electric motors
Generators
Transformers
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines
Electromagnetic waves (such as light and radio waves)

What is science?

The resources above cover the following skills:

LIFE SCIENCE

Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics

Obtain information from literature and other media to illustrate that there are many different kinds of living things and that they exist in different places on land and in water (e.g., woodland, tundra, desert, rainforest, ocean, river).

EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE

Earth’s Systems

Make observations from media to obtain information about Earth’s events that happen over a short period of time (e.g., tornados, volcanic explosions, earthquakes) or over a time period longer than one can observe (e.g., erosion of rocks, melting of glaciers).

Collect and evaluate data to identify water found on Earth and determine whether it is a solid or a liquid (e.g., glaciers as solid forms of water; oceans, lakes, rivers, streams as liquid forms of water).
