Electromagnatism

Electromagnetism is the study of electromagnetic forces and is one of the four fundamental interactions in nature. It is a physical type of interaction that occurs between particles that are electrically charged. Electromagnetic forces are displayed as electric and magnetic fields that draw and repel other electrically charged particles.

Electromagnetic forces are so essential that they perform an important role in forming the internal properties of objects that are used in everyday life. For example the radio. A radio signal is merely a carrier of information. The process of adding that information such as sounds of speech or music is called modulation. The first type of modulation developed was AM in 1906 that stands for amplitude modification. The FM radio later became more popular for its better quality sound in the 1960’s. Another important device created off the basis of electromagnetism was the microwave.

Chemistry is also governed by the intermolecular forces that react between molecules. Electromagnetic wave mechanics are orbits that electrons are bound by to circle around the nuclei. This principle is what creates atoms, which are the very building blocks of life. This electromagnetic principle also allows the forming of covalent bonds between molecules.

Electromagnetism is an important part of the world we live in and is used in the creation and application of home appliances everyday. Not only is it used in common household objects but it is also applied in nature. The electrons on atoms and molecules circle a nucleus based off the orbit used in the principles of electromagnetism. Electromagnetism is an important concept used in the industry and the military to create objects that will improve everyday life and create further advancements in the
