Electromagnetism is a branch of physics that deals with the study of electromagnetic forces, including electricity and magnetism. Initially, these two phenomena were considered separate forces until the 19th century, when James Clerk Maxwell formulated a unified theory of electromagnetism. This theory is summarized in Maxwell's equations, which describe how electric and magnetic fields are created and changed by each other, as well as by charges and currents.
One of the fundamental aspects of electromagnetism is the concept of electromagnetic fields. Electric fields are caused by electric charges, whether positive or negative, and exert forces on other charges within the field. On the other hand, magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges (currents) and exert forces on magnets and moving charges. Maxwell's equations forecast the behavior of these fields and how they interact, enabling the understanding and prediction of electromagnetic phenomena ranging from the operation of electrical circuits to the behavior of light and radio waves. Electromagnetism is crucial in modern technology and everyday life. It underlies the functioning of electric motors, generators, transformers, and all electronic devices. Furthermore, electromagnetic waves, including visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays, are extensively used in communication, medicine, and many other fields. The development of electromagnetism has led to transformative advances in technology, paving the way for innovations such as telecommunications, electrical power distribution, and the entire field of electronics.
In this video, we have explained electromagnetism in simple words for beginners with a lot of everyday examples.
