Magnetism from Electricity
Magnetism resulting from electricity is a fascinating phenomenon that lies at the intersection of physics and electromagnetism. When an electric current flows through a conductor, it generates a magnetic field around it, a concept first elucidated by Hans Christian Ørsted in the 19th century. This symbiotic relationship between electricity and magnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations, forms the basis for numerous technological applications, from electric motors to transformers. Understanding the dynamic interplay between electrical currents and magnetic fields is crucial in advancing technologies that power our modern world.
