How does electricity and magnetism relate to one another?

Magnetism is a type of attractive or repulsive force that acts up to certain distance. The distance up to which this attractive or repulsive force acts is called magnetic field. Magnetism is caused by the moving electric charges (especially electrons). read more

Electricity and magnetism are closely linked and basically different manifestations of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as outlined by Maxwell's famous four equations. read more

Magnetism and electricity are two of the more mysterious phenomena of the everyday world. Electricity is the movement of submicroscopic charged particles through a material. This flow of charges, or “current,” moving through the wires of a house provides the electrical energy needed by modern tools and appliances. read more

Another example of electricity and magnetism at work is in an atom, since an electron is a charge which moves about the nucleus, in effect it forms a current loop, and hence a magnetic field may be associated with an individual atom. read more
