  2. Electromagnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet

    [1] [2] Not all electromagnets use cores, so this is called a ferromagnetic-core or iron-core electromagnet. This is because the material of a magnetic core (often made of iron or steel) is composed of small regions called magnetic domains that act like tiny magnets (see ferromagnetism). Before the current in the electromagnet is turned on, the ...

  3. Electromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetism

    The forces we experience when "pushing" or "pulling" ordinary material objects result from intermolecular forces between individual molecules in our bodies and in the objects. The effective forces generated by the momentum of electrons' movement is a necessary part of understanding atomic and intermolecular interactions.

  4. Introduction to electromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to...

    Electromagnets often use a wire curled up into solenoid around an iron core which strengthens the magnetic field produced because the iron core becomes magnetised. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] Maxwell's extension to the law states that a time-varying electric field can also generate a magnetic field. [ 12 ]

  5. 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 ...

  6. Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

    EMR of lower energy ultraviolet or lower frequencies (i.e., near ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves) is non-ionizing because its photons do not individually have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules or to break chemical bonds. The effect of non-ionizing radiation on chemical systems and living tissue is ...

  7. Magnetic core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_core

    A magnetic core is a piece of magnetic material with a high magnetic permeability used to confine and guide magnetic fields in electrical, electromechanical and magnetic devices such as electromagnets, transformers, electric motors, generators, inductors, loudspeakers, magnetic recording heads, and magnetic assemblies.

  8. Classical electromagnetism and special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_electromagnetism...

    The theory of special relativity plays an important role in the modern theory of classical electromagnetism.It gives formulas for how electromagnetic objects, in particular the electric and magnetic fields, are altered under a Lorentz transformation from one inertial frame of reference to another.

  9. Electromagnetic propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_propulsion

    Electromagnetic propulsion (EMP) is the principle of accelerating an object by the utilization of a flowing electrical current and magnetic fields.The electrical current is used to either create an opposing magnetic field, or to charge a field, which can then be repelled.
