Learning Objective

I can describe the relationship between electricity and magnetism.

  • 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.
