About This Book
Electricity and magnetism are fundamental aspects of physics that describe the behavior of electric
charges and magnetic fields. Together, they form the unified force known as electromagnetism, one of
the four fundamental forces of nature. Electricity involves the movement of electrons through a
conductor, resulting in an electric current. This current generates an electric field, which can exert force
on other charged particles. Voltage, resistance, and current are key concepts in understanding electrical
circuits. Magnetism, on the other hand, arises from the motion of electric charges, especially within
atomic structures. Materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel exhibit strong magnetic properties. A magnetic
field is created around a magnet or a current-carrying wire and can influence other magnets or magnetic
materials nearby. The connection between electricity and magnetism was first revealed through the
work of scientists like Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell. Maxwell's equations describe how
electric and magnetic fields interact and propagate as electromagnetic waves, such as light. These
principles are the basis for many technologies in modern life, including electric motors, generators,
transformers, and wireless communication. Understanding electricity and magnetism is essential for
advancements in engineering, physics, and everyday technological applications. This book explores the
fundamental principles and practical applications of electricity and magnetism, bridging theory with
real-world technologies.
