- 1
Electromagnetism is the interaction between electric charges and magnetic fields, and it is one of the four fundamental interactions of nature.
- 2
Rubbing a balloon on your hair transfers electrons to the balloon, giving it a negative charge and causing your hair to have a positive charge.
- 3
An electric charge, when it moves, creates a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field can create an electric field; this interaction is known as electromagnetism.
