Historically, prior to 1820, electricity and magnetism were thought to be separate entities of nature. On April 21, 1820, ...

Imagine if we could use strong electromagnetic fields to manipulate the local properties of spacetime—this could have important ramifications in terms of science and engineering. Electromagnetism has ...

This video explores the three fundamental forces of the quantum world: electromagnetism, the weak force, and the strong force ...

A magazine news story on the unification of physics usually begins by saying that Einstein’s general theory of relativity and quantum theory are irreconcilable. The one handles the force of gravity, ...

On the face of it, both electricity and magnetism are remarkably similar to gravity. Just as two masses are attracted to each other by an inverse square force, the force between two charged objects or ...

Understand how to calculate the electric field of a dipole using the far field approximation. A key concept in ...

Modern physics and engineering are based on electromagnetism, which controls the interaction of electric currents, magnetic fields, and electromagnetic forces. Every undergraduate student studying ...

How does the imagination work? How can it lead to both reverie and scientific insight? In this book, Kieran M. Murphy sheds new light on these perennial questions by showing how they have been closely ...

Throughout the 19th century, a series of discoveries illuminated the nature of light. Learn how these scientists contributed to electromagnetism. Electromagnetism is everywhere, and humans have ...
