Detonated at a high enough altitude (~400 km ASL), a nuclear weapon can create an electromagnetic pulse which can disable many types of electrical systems. A large nuclear device detonated at around 500 kilometers above Kansas could in theory produce an EMP pulse large enough to cover the continental US.
The EMP effects were studied and observed in various American nuclear tests. In the related links box below, I posted a link where you can see the figures.
What else can I help you with?
What bomb was created in Manhattan Project?
Nuclear Bomb.
Which is stronger Nuclear Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb?
Nuclear bombs is all types of bombs that use nuclear energy. It is not a type of bomb,just a category of bombs. hydrogen bomb is the strongest bomb ever, and its blast yield can go up to 100megatons of TNT.
What type of nuclear reaction does the hydrogen bomb rely on?
Nuclear fusion.

What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?
A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.
What is an e-bomb?
An electromagnetic bomb or E-bomb is a weapon designed to disable electronics with an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that can couple with electrical/electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges by electromagnetic induction. The effects are usually not noticeable beyond 10 km of the blast radius unless the device is nuclear or specifically designed to produce an electromagnetic pulse
What is the best nuclear bomb?

What is a nuclear weapon in which enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?

Can a nuclear reactor explode as a nuclear bomb?
Highly unlikely if not altogether impossible. In a core meltdown, you might see a steam explosion if the core melts and breaches the containment structure and hits say cooling water. But even a runaway chain reaction in a reactor would not cause a nuclear explosion like a bomb.
Which bomb is deathly?
nuclear bomb
What were other option rather an atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs are a type of Nuclear bomb and there are 2 types of nuclear bombs. The second type of nuclear bomb is a hydrogen bomb.
