Electromagnetism
Electromagnetism is a branch of physics that deals with the study of the electromagnetic force, which is a fundamental force of nature. This force is responsible for the interaction between electrically charged particles. It also encompasses the study of electric fields, magnetic fields, and their interactions.
Key Concepts
- Electricity: The flow of electric charge through a conductor.
- Magnetism: The property of certain materials to attract or repel each other.
- Electromagnetic Force: The force that causes electrically charged particles to interact with each other.
- Electric Field: The region around a charged particle where another charged particle experiences a force.
- Magnetic Field: The region around a magnet where another magnet or a magnetic material experiences a force.
- Electromagnetic Induction: The process of generating an electromotive force (emf) by changing the magnetic field around a conductor.
