  2. Electromagnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet

    An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. Electromagnets usually consist of wire (likely copper) wound into a coil. A current through the wire creates a magnetic field which is concentrated along the center of the coil. The magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off.

    In fact, a protein found in human hair called L-cysteine is sometimes used as an additive to certain foods. L-cysteine is an amino acid found in keratin, which some food manufacturers use to ...

  4. Electromagnetic radiation and health - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation...

    The mechanism is the same as that used in a microwave oven. [6] The heating effect varies with the power and the frequency of the electromagnetic energy, as well as the inverse square of distance to the source. The eyes and testes are particularly susceptible to radio frequency heating due to the paucity of blood flow in these areas that could ...

  5. Bioelectromagnetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectromagnetics

    Bioelectromagnetics, also known as bioelectromagnetism, is the study of the interaction between electromagnetic fields and biological entities. Areas of study include electromagnetic fields produced by living cells, tissues or organisms, the effects of man-made sources of electromagnetic fields like mobile phones, and the application of electromagnetic radiation toward therapies for the ...

  6. Electromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetism

    The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is the dominant force in the interactions of atoms and molecules. Electromagnetism can be thought of as a combination of electrostatics and magnetism, which are distinct but closely intertwined phenomena. Electromagnetic forces occur between any two charged particles.

  7. Magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism

    The electromagnet loses them when current and magnetic field are removed. An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. [17] The magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off. Electromagnets usually consist of a large number of closely spaced turns of wire that create the ...

  8. Horseshoe magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_magnet

    The shape of the magnet was originally created as a replacement for the bar magnet as it makes the magnetic field stronger for a magnet of comparable strength. [5] A horseshoe magnet is stronger because both poles of the magnet are closer to each other and in the same plane which allows the magnetic lines of flux to flow along a more direct path between the poles and concentrates the magnetic ...

  9. Hair clipper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_clipper

    A hair clipper, often individually called the apparent plurale tantum hair clippers (in a similar way to scissors), is a specialised tool used to cut human hair. Hair clippers work on the same principle as scissors , but are distinct from scissors themselves and razors .
