Electromagnetism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Electromagnetism is the physics of the electromagnetic field : a field which exerts a force on particles that possess the property of electric charge , and is in turn affected by the presence and motion of those 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, a changing electric field generates a magnetic field. Because of this interdependence of the electric and magnetic fields, it makes sense to consider them as a single coherent entity - the electromagnetic field. The magnetic field is produced by the motion of electric charges , i.e. electric current . The magnetic field causes the magnetic force associated with magnets The theoretical implications of electromagnetism led to the development of special relativity by Albert Einstein in Contents History The electromagnetic force Classical electrodynamics The photoelectric effect ... edit History While preparing for an evening lecture on 21 April 1820

Electromagnetism What is Electromagnetism? Electromagnetism describes the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Nearly everyone, at some time or another, has had the opportunity to play with magnets. Most of us are acquainted with bar magnets or those thin magnets that usually end up on refrigerators. These magnets are known as permanent magnets. Although permanent magnets receive a lot of exposure, we use and depend on electromagnets much more in our everyday lives. Electromagnetism is essentially the foundation for all of electrical engineering. We use electromagnets to generate electricity, store memory on our computers, generate pictures on a television screen, diagnose illnesses, and in just about every other aspect of our lives that depends on electricity. Electromagnetism works on the principle that an electric current through a wire generates a magnetic field. This magnetic field is the same force that makes metal objects stick to permanent magnets. In a bar magnet, the magnetic field runs from the north to the south pole. In a wire, the magnetic field forms around the wire. If we wrap that wire around a metal object, we can often magnetize that object. In this way, we can create an electromagnet.

Electrostatic Potential Energy The starting point for all electrostatic interactions is that between two point electric charges such as two electrons, or between a positron and an electron. In the 19th century scientists did not understand the interaction, and invented the concept of “potential energy” to provide the force that drove these particles together or apart. It was only when Einstein developed the equivalence of mass and energy that the true source of the energy became apparent. You are probably familiar with the concept that electric fields contain energy and it is the interaction between the fields of the two charges that leads to changes in their energy and hence to the forces between them, energy being simply the integral of force over distance. This paper develops the equations for the interaction at any point in space near the charges, without recourse to “potential energy”.

Electromagnetism by Ron Kurtus (revised 3 April 2005) An electromagnet is an object that acts like a magnet, but its magnetic force is created and controlled by electricitythus the name electromagnet . By wrapping insulated wire around a piece of iron and then running electrical current through the wire, the iron becomes magnetized. This happens because a magnetic field is created around a wire when it has electrical current running through it. Creating a coil of wire concentrates the field. Wrapping the wire around an iron core greatly increases the strength of the magnetic field. Questions you may have include: How can you make an electromagnet?

Scitoys.com Ingredients Science Blog Science Toys ... Build a digital thermometer A motor in 10 minutes Back in the 1960's my father taught me how to make the little electric motor we will make here. Sometime in the 1980's I saw a description of it in the magazine "Physics Teacher". Lately I have seen it described as Beakman's motor, after the science oriented TV show on which it recently appeared. The motor is simply a battery, a magnet, and a small coil of wire you make yourself. There is a secret to making it (which I will of course share with you) which is at the same time clever and delightfully simple. What you will need: A battery holder, such as Radio Shack #270-402 (holds a "C" cell) or #270-403 (holds a "D" cell). A battery to fit the holder. A magnet such as Radio Shack #64-1877, #64-1895, #64-1883, #64-1879, or #64-1888. Some magnet wire such as Radio Shack #278-1345. We want enamel coated 22 gauge (or thicker) wire. We will only need about a yard of wire, so the Radio Shack package will make a dozen motors or more. Some heavier wire such as Radio Shack #278-1217 or #278-1216. We want bare wire of 18 or 20 gauge, so we will be removing the plastic insulation from the wires listed above. We will need less than a foot of this wire per motor.

What Holds it Together? Electromagnetism The electromagnetic force causes like-charged things to repel and oppositely-charged things to attract. Many everyday forces, such as friction, and even magnetism, are caused by the electromagnetic, or E-M force. For instance, the force that keeps you from falling through the floor is the electromagnetic force which causes the atoms making up the matter in your feet and the floor to resist being displaced. The carrier particle of the electromagnetic force is the photon ). Photons of different energies span the electromagnetic spectrum of x rays, visible light, radio waves, and so forth. Photons have zero mass, as far as we know, and always travel at the "speed of light", c, which is about 300,000,000 meters per second, or 186,000 miles per second, in a vacuum.

9. Electromagnetism We are now in a position which will allow us, at least qualitatively, to describe the origins of electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with atoms http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/local/physical/mi_5.html

5 Electromagnetism 5.1 Magnetism So far we have discussed the forces between charges which are at rest with respect to each other. When charges are moving relative to each other they exert an additional force, the magnetic force. This force, as we will see later, plays a negligible role in inter atomic and intermolecular bonding. However, the effect of magnetic fields on atoms and molecules is used widely in all manner of spectroscopies, and we will need to appreciate magnetic behaviour in order to understand the interaction of light and other electromagnetic radiation with atoms and molecules. 5.1.1 The Lorentz Force Magnetic materials were discovered well before the electrostatic effects of rubbing amber. The magnetic iron oxide, magnetite, was mined in Asia Minor well before the birth of Christ, indeed by about 100 BC the Chinese had already discovered that such minerals would align with the north and south poles. By the beginning of the 19th Century it was known that such bar magnets would repel if like poles were facing each other and attract if the poles were of the opposite sense, and the similarities with the behaviour of electric charges had for some time interested scientists of the time. They made the following observations * the force is proportional to the magnitude and sign of the charge on the particle * the force is proportional to the velocity of the charged particle * the force is proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field * the magnitude of the force depends on the relative orientation between the line of flight and the direction of the magnetic field

The Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted was lecturing one day in 1820 on the possibility of electricity and magnetism being related to one another, and in the process demonstrated it conclusively by experiment in front of his whole class! By passing an electric current through a metal wire suspended above a magnetic compass, Oersted was able to produce a definite motion of the compass needle in response to the current. What began as conjecture at the start of the class session was confirmed as fact at the end. Needless to say, Oersted had to revise his lecture notes for future classes! His serendipitous discovery paved the way for a whole new branch of science: electromagnetics. Detailed experiments showed that the magnetic field produced by an electric current is always oriented perpendicular to the direction of flow. A simple method of showing this relationship is called the

He had discovered a way to avert computer crashes completely in air traffic control systems while speeding them up sufficiently to spot potential collisions or terrorist activity automatically, and a version of his earlier computer wafer scale innovation had successfully come to market. His problem was that ?popular physics? authors were flooding the media with hype about backward time travel, 10 dimensional strings, parallel universes and Kaku flying saucer speculation, and were obviously lying that such unpopular non-testable guesses were science.

electromagnetic force , a long-range force involving the electric and magnetic properties of elementary particles . It is responsible for the repulsion of like and attraction of unlike electric charges and explains atomic structure and the properties of light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. Two point charges will attract or repel each other according to Coulomb's law with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them: F=C·q ·q /r The electromagnetic interaction is mediated, or carried, by photons . Because its effects can be easily observed, electromagnetism is the most thoroughly studied and best understood of the four fundamental forces of nature . The same laws that govern electromagnetism on the subatomic scale also apply on a large scale in motors, generators, and electronic equipment. A moving electric charge gives rise to a magnetic field, and if its motion changes the magnetic field varies and in turn produces an electric field; this is the origin of electromagnetic radiation.
