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 into electromagnets, Hans Oersted discovered that a conductor carrying an electric current was surrounded by a magnetic field (Bellis 2). Hans Oersted discovered this because his compass reacted to a battery when he connected them using wires.

A cyclotron is a device used for scientific research in which subatomic charged particles are accelerated in a constant magnetic field. Magnetic fields supply a powerful research tool without which modern physics could have grown to its present extent. A typical magnet consists of iron, nickel, and steel. All magnets have a north and south pole, the opposite poles are attracted to each other and similar poles repel each other. A magnet is something that attracts metal. There are many types of magnets, there are, ceramic, alnico, neodymium, samarium, and of course, electromagnets (Wilson 2007). The most commonly used magnet. To make a magnet, you just encourage the domains to face the same way (Wilson 2007). To encourage the domains by placing it in a north south direction and strike it with a hammer. Striking it with a hammer make the domains lineup by jarring them sometimes in the same direction (Wilson 2007). If you place it magnetic field then it can also gain a magnetic field of itself. Each domain is a tiny magnet. Each domain has magnetic domains pointing in different directions, canceling each other out (Wilson 2007). Magnets range from weak magnets, to strong magnets that can even lift a car. The strength of a magnet depends on how hard it is to magnetize it (Wilson 2007). Magnets are made by rubbing a permanent magnet along a piece metal for a long time repeatedly. When the same poles touch each other, magnetic lines clash together. To make a magnet
What is magnetism? When two pieces of iron are attracted to each other by physical means or electrical means.
What magnetism does to affect your life is that every day that you use electricity you have un appreciated the fact that magnetism was one of the opening things to electricity. Did you know that the man who invented electricity was the same man who invented magnetism. People somehow had compasses before magnetism
Magnetism is a class of physical phenomena mediated by magnetic fields. All materials are in some way influenced by a magnetic field. The force between any two charged particles depends on the magnitude of the charge on each and the distance that separates them. In addition to electrical forces, there is a force due to the motion of the charged particles known as the magnetic force.
All magnets produce their own invisible magnetic field that’s unable to be seen with the naked eye, and each magnetic field interacts with other magnetic fields. Magnets are made of metals like iron ore, iron, or alloys, which is a mixture of metals, or of a metal and a nonmetal. Magnets only react with certain metals such as iron, steel, nickel, or cobalt. They have two poles, one of them is north pole, while the other is called the south pole. The opposite poles attract, while the same ones repel one another. Everything is made of atoms, and magnets are no exceptions (Rutledge, McDaniel, Boudreau, Ramroop, Teng, Sprout, Costa, Hall, & Hunt, 2012). Atoms within magnets contain electrons which carries electrical charges. These electrons circumvent
What is a magnet? Magnet is an object that can create magnetic field by itself. It is usually made from iron. It had a pulling force called magnetism. The pulling force is able to pull at certain things like objects made of iron or steel. It can attract or repel other magnetic objects that are not even magnetized and of course other magnets too. Due to the characteristic of a magnet, it can give a great impact to our world. It has many benefits to the industrial field, the transportation in our modern world, the medical field and also to the household of our daily lives. It can even generate electricity. However, everything comes with a downside, the magnet is not excluded.
An electricity and magnetism phenomenon apparently unrelated to power are electrical magnetic fields. We are familiar with these forces through the interaction of compasses with the earth's magnetic field, or through fridge magnets or magnets on children's toys. Magnetic forces are explained in terms very similar to those used for electric forces:
The charge/mass ratio will be determined using an electron gun and Helmholtz coild to incur a ring into the elcecton beam, throught the measurement of the diameter of this circle, along with the measurement of the current through the coils and the accelerating voltage, the ratio can be determined.
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.
Throughout this report the strength of an induced magnetic field will be explored, this will be achieved through dropping a rare earth magnet through an aluminum tube and testing whether the velocity of the magnet will move at a constant rate and whether the velocity of the magnet will continue to move at a constant rate once more and more weight is added to the magnet, and discovering why the magnet moves at a constant rate even when weight is added or whether the magnet moves at a continuously accelerating rate as more and more weight is added. This will be done by looking at various physics concepts these concepts include; Lenz’s law, Faradays law of electromagnetism, Newton’s first law of motion, induced
Electric motors rely on the force of an electromagnet, as does every electric motor. An electromagnet is created when a current flows through the copper wire. The electromagnet forms a magnetic field around the coil. A magnetic field is the area around a magnet where its force can be detected. This magnetic field causes another force which is called polarity. Polarity describes two areas (north and south poles) of the magnet were the force of the magnet is the strongest.
The link between Magnetism and electricity became evident in 1820. This relationship is important because electricity develops by the spinning of magnets around a coil of copper wire. In order to produce electricity a fuel source must spine the magnets. Electricity can be used from anything from communication sistemes to the everyday lightbulb.

The effect of conductor moving through a magnetic field is that it would cause a electromagnetic field which is used in transformers to change current and voltage.
Oersted, in 1820, discovered the action of a voltaic current on a magnetic needle; and immediately afterwards the splendid intellect of Ampere succeeded in showing that every magnetic phenomenon then known might be reduced to the mutual action of electric currents. This attracted Faraday's attention to the subject. He read much about it; and in the months of July, August, and September he wrote a 'history of the progress of electromagnetism,' which he published in Thomson's
One definite application of electromagnetic technology relates to a form of transportation that might appear to be old news at first, which is trains. However, magnetic levitation trains are as far removed from the old stream engines of the Union Pacific as the space shuttle is from the Wright brothers’ experimental airplane. Those type of engines most likely laid the ground work for the other engines even though they are very old fashioned.
