What is Electromagnetics?
Electric field
Produced by the presence of
electrically charged particles,
and gives rise to the electric
force.
Magnetic field
Produced by the motion of
electric charges, or electric
current, and gives rise to the
magnetic force associated
with magnets.
Applications
Electromagnetic principles find application in various disciplines
such as microwaves, x-rays, antennas, electric machines,
plasmas, etc.
Applications
Electromagnetic fields are used in induction heaters for melting,
forging, annealing, surface hardening, and soldering operation.
Electromagnetic devices include transformers, radio, television,
mobile phones, radars, lasers, etc.
