How is eletricity and magnetism related?

Answer 1

1.Similar repel , opposite attract:

The two opposite kinds of electric charge are called positive and negative. Opposite

charges attract each other , and similar charges repel each other.

A magnet has two opposite poles, referred to as north and south. Opposite magnetic

poles attract each other, and similar magnetic poles repel each ,exactly as happens

with electric charges.

2. The force with which magnetic poles attract or repel each other depends on the strength of the poles and the distance between them. This relationship is similar to Coulomb's inverse square law for electric charges , which is

electric charge= (coulomb constant x first charge x second charge)/(distance)2

3.Electricity produces magnetic effects and magnetism produces electric effects.

The relationship between electricity and magnetism is called electromagnetism.

Answer 2

The link is a fundamental property of the physical universe, more properly it should be called electro-magnetism because one cannot exist without the other. They are aspects of the same phenomena.

Answer 3

magnetism is a synonym for electromagnetism. Electricity is the flow of electrons in the atoms while electromagnetism is when an object has a flowing current of it inside it

Answer 4

Yes. The related link shows a pic of the force fields related to current flow in a

conductor. Notice that they are at right angles to each other.

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

no
