Wow, that's both an easy question as well as difficult to answer. In layman's terms, electromagnetic radiation could be categorized as any magnetic field created by electrical or electronic means.
For example, a transmitted radio signal, TV signal or satellite signal consists of electromagnetic radiation, but then so does the field created by the coils in a transformer, motor or generator.

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 ultra violet radiation not show any diffraction pattern?
Ultraviolet radiation does diffract (show a diffraction pattern.) All electro magnetic radiation will diffract. Even particle radiation will diffract.
How much radiation does MRI emit?
There is no ionising radiation (e.g. X-rays) used in an MRI scan. It utilises radio-waves and a strong magnetic field but no radiation.
What is the importance of the each magnetic field?
The single biggest benefit to the Earth's magnetic field is that it shields the Earth's surface from harmful radiation.
What is the smallest packet of energy of a specific type of electro magnetic radiation?
a photon

How do you make a sentence for magnetic field?
The magnetic field of the Earth protects us from cosmic radiation.
Why do stars give off electromagnet radiation?
they are magnetic
Why is the earths magnetic shiled important?
It protects us from the magnetic/electrical radiation that mainly comes from the sun. High radiation periods coincide with solar storms, et al.
Is there any magnetic effect on light radiation?
Light, or electromagnetic radiation, is generally unaffected by magnetic fields. Magnetic fields don't "bend" light, though photons will follow the curvature of spacetime around massive gravitational fields.
What is another word for earths magnetic field?
= An effect of the magnetic field is "Van Allen radiation belt" =
What is Created by vibrations in electric and magnetic fields?
Vibrations in electric and magnetic fields create electromagnetic radiation.
How heat reaches Earth?
