Electromagnetism

Title

Electromagnetism is the branch of physics that studies the relationship between electrical and magnetic phenomena, showing that both are part of the same fundamental interaction of nature. Electric charges generate electric fields, and when these charges move they also produce magnetic fields, which in turn can once again influence other charges and currents.

This interaction explains an enormous variety of physical phenomena, from the attraction between magnets and the operation of electric motors to the propagation of light. In fact, light corresponds to an electromagnetic wave formed by electric and magnetic fields that regenerate each other as they propagate through space.

Electromagnetism constitutes one of the central bases of modern technology. Electrical generation and transmission systems, telecommunications, electronics, radar, magnetic resonance, computing and wireless networks depend directly on electromagnetic principles to function.
