negatively charged particles. Electromagnets are used for a variety of purposes. In a simple example, an electromagnet can pick up pieces of iron, nickel... |
Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. The others are gravity, and the strong and weak interactions of particle physics. The... |
Magnetism (section Electromagnets and electromagnetism) in a transformer. Electromagnets are used to make many things work like computers, televisions, radios and doorbells. Electromagnetic radiation including... |
Microwave (category Electromagnetic radiation) microwave background radiation. We can only see electromagnetic radiation in the visible light spectrum (which is why it's called the visible light spectrum)... |
Ultraviolet (category Electromagnetic radiation) Ultraviolet is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum shown on the left side of the picture below as black—because humans cannot see light of such short... |
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. It is the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things easy to see. Light is the opposite of darkness... |
symmetry). Particles can carry fundamental forces. For example, the electromagnetic force is carried by photons. The four fundamental forces are responsible... |
why perpetual motion machines do not exist and could never exist; it would break a fundamental law of physics. People can use the changes to do work that... |
attempts at using another part of the electromagnetic spectrum to observe the sky. Those parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that the atmosphere did not... |
how the particles that make up atoms work. Quantum physics also tells us how electromagnetic waves (like light) work. Wave–particle duality means that particles... |
tries to model the four known fundamental interactions—gravitation, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force—together in one theory. This... |
theory of special relativity. Einstein predicted that the speed of electromagnetic radiation through empty space would always be the same. His view of... |
through the wires, carrying electrical energy. This process is called electromagnetic induction. Michael Faraday discovered how to do this. Many sources... |

Mobile phone (section How mobile phones work) Most also have a digital camera inside. Cell phones work as two-way radios. They send electromagnetic microwaves from base station to base station. The... |
Computer (redirect from How does a computer work) general purpose electronic computer (since Konrad Zuse's Z3 of 1941 used electromagnets instead of electronics). At first, however, the only way to reprogram... |
detected what they call the cosmic microwave background radiation. These electromagnetic waves are everywhere in the universe. This radiation is now very weak... |
charge repel each other: this repulsion is part of what is called electromagnetic force. Unless there was something else holding the nucleus together... |
attention in recent years. There are many inventions of new material. Work on why structures fail or break down is very important to engineering. The important... |
Pulsars are neutron stars which spin rapidly and produce huge electromagnetic radiation along a narrow beam. Neutron stars are very dense, and have short... |
