Electromagnetics Electromagnetism defined as “magnetism produced by an electric current”. In other words it is the electricity part of what holds ourselves and every bit of matter in the universe together. This source of universal “glue” is found within atoms themselves. As the name sounds, there are two different forces within electromagnetism - the electric force and the magnetic force. Before the early part of the last century, scientist studied electricity and magnetism as different …

…equations that completely describe the electromagnetic field. How it is produced and charged by currents, and how it is distributed in space and time. Accompanying the electric component is a magnetic component - which are both equal. It may be shown that electromagnetic waves transport energy as well as carry momentum. It way also be shown that “any other accelerated charge, not necessarily a sinusoidal oscillating one, loses energy in the form of electromagnetic waves”
