Key Concepts

Electromagnetism

Electromagnetism is the branch of physics that studies the interaction between electric charges and magnetic fields. One of its key principles is that an electric current produces a magnetic field, linking electricity and magnetism in a single unified theory.

Magnetic Field

A magnetic field is a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge where magnetic forces can be observed. In the case of a current-carrying conductor, the flow of electric charge generates a magnetic field that surrounds the conductor, which can be visualized by the alignment of magnetic materials like iron filings.
