The term electromagnetic pulse (sometimes abbreviated EMP) has the following meanings:

  1. A burst of electromagnetic radiation that results from an explosion (especially a nuclear explosion) or a suddenly fluctuating magnetic field. The resulting electric and magnetic fieldsmay couple with electrical/electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges.
  2. A broadband, high-intensity, short-duration burst of electromagnetic energy.
