The relationship between electricity and magnetism is intimate. A changing magnetic field induces electrical current in a wire, and is the basis for electrical generation. Also, an electrical current flowing through a wire creates a magnetic field, and is the basis for most motors.

In general, a changing magnetic field creates an electrical field, and a changing electrical field creates a magnetic field. In fact, light is exactly this; two fields oscillating at right angles, and inducing one another through space.

One of the four fundamental forces in the universe is the electromagnetic force. Not the electric or the magnetic force, but the electromagnetic force. Basically, you can't have electricity without magnetism and vice versa. That may not make electricity and magnetism exactly the same, but they are intertwined in a most intimate way.

Can magnets absorb electricity?

No, magnets do not absorb electricity. Magnets create a magnetic field that can interact with electric currents, but they do not absorb or store electricity.


What is the difference between electronics and electromagnetism?

Electronics use electricity for power while electromagnets are magnets created by electricity.


How could you make a very strong electromagnet?

well I am not really sure about that, but what you could try to do is increase the electrical charge connected to the magnet. There is a very close relationship between magnets and electricity.


Which scientist discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism?

The relationship between electricity and magnetism was discovered by the scientist Michael Faraday in the 19th century.


What is the relationship between the strength of magnetic fields and the distance between 2 magnets?

The strength of magnetic fields decreases as the distance between two magnets increases. This relationship follows an inverse square law, meaning that the magnetic field strength decreases exponentially with distance. Therefore, the closer the two magnets are, the stronger the magnetic field between them will be.


What type of magnets are easy to magnetize but Loose made quickly?

electronic magnets as they work with electricity produced

Are magnets conductive?

No, magnets are not conductive. Magnets do not allow electricity to flow through them like conductive materials do.


Do bar magnets use conductive wire and electricity to create a magnetic field?

Bar magnets are already magnetized. They don't need to add wire and electricity.


Does electricity flow through the magnet?

No, electricity does not flow through a magnet. Magnets exert a magnetic field, which can interact with objects containing electrical charge or current, but they do not conduct electricity themselves.


Do magnets have electricity in them?
