How do the electric and magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave regenerate each other?

No. Current flow creates electromagnetic fields in space. Electromagnetic fields, in turn, can create current flow in conductors. The electric fields do not directly create magnetic fields, nor do magnetic fields directly create electric fields.

Why is light in the electromagnetic spectrum Is light a type of electromagnetic radiation But how does that work Light is not magnetic or is it?
Part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be detected by eye, and we call that bit "light". The thing about electromagnetic radiation is that a varying magnetic field causes a (varying) electric field (that's how power stations make electric current) and a varying electric field causes a (varying) magnetic field. So electromagnetic radiation is what you get when a varying electric field creates a varying magnetic field which in turn contributes the varying electric field. The whole thing then appears as bundled varying electric and magnetic field wave system which propagates at the velocity of light, That is why it is called electromagnetic. There are no magnetic poles or electric charges in it, and it can travel through a vacuum.
What ionizing radiation is not affected by an electric field?
No electromagnetic radiation, whether ionizing or not, is affected by an electric field or by a magnetic field.
Why an electromagnetic wave is able to produce both an electric field and a magnetic field because?
The question founders on the rocks of a chicken/egg conundrum. The presence of both an electric field and a magnetic field is required in order to produce an electromagnetic wave.
What is the classical explanation of a dc electric current in a metallic wave?
A changing magnetic field always produces an electric field, and conversely, a changing electric field always produces a magnetic field. This interaction of electric and magnetic forces gives rise to a condition in space known as an electromagnetic field.
What unit of measurement is used to measure an electromagnetic field and what instrument is used to measure that?
An electromagnetic field has both electric and magnetic components. Units of Weber and Tesla are used to measure magnetic flux and magnetic flux density, while Volts measure electric fields.
Can electromagnetic wave deflect by electric or magnetic field?
No. An electromagnetic wave IS electric and magnetic fields.
What are parts of an electromagnetic wave?
Electric field and magnetic field
What does electromagnetic waves means?
An electromagnetic wave, in its simplest description, is a wave that as it propagates keeps converting its magnetic field into an electric field while converting its electric field into a magnetic field.

Why is a vibrating electric field an example of an electromagnetic wave?
The changing electric field will produce a magnetic field; the changing magnetic field will cause an electric field; both will propagate as a wave - an electro-magnetic wave.
What electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse (unpolarized or polarized) or circularly polarized waves that have some electrical properties and some magnetic properties. An electromagnetic wave consists of changing electric and magnetic fields. The repeated cyclic transfer of energy from the electric field (weakening it) to the magnetic field (strengthening it) until the electric field is gone, then from the magnetic field (weakening it) to the electric field (strengthening it) until the magnetic field is gone every cycle is the process by which electromagnetic waves propagate without requiring a medium (and is described in Maxwell's Equations).
What is in a vibrating electric and a magnetic field?
they both have a Electromagnetic wave.
What are electromagnetic oscillators?
when a charge oscillates for example in a capacitor it produce an electric field; which in turns produce a magnetic field in an inductance. the magnetic field oscillates perpendicular to the electric field and an electromagnetic waves perpendicular to both is produced.
When and magnetic fields both exist it is called an electric magnetic field?
electromagnetic
