e can define motion as the change of position of an object with respect to time. A book falling off a table, water flowing from the tap, rattling windows, etc., all exhibit motion. Even the air that we breathe exhibits motion! Everything in the universe moves

Electromagnetism
? Electricity and magnetism two faces of
electromagnetism
¨C a moving electric charge produces magnetic fields
¨C changing magnetic fields move electric charges

Magnetic fields from electricity
? A static distribution of charges produces an electric
field
? Charges in motion (an electrical current) produce a
magnetic field
¨C electric current is an example of charges (electrons) in motion

Electromagnets
? Arranging wire in a coil and running a current
through produces a magnetic field that looks a lot
like a bar magnet
¨C called an electromagnet
¨C putting a real magnet inside, can shove the magnet back
and forth depending on current direction: called a
solenoid

Induced Current
? changing magnetic field produces an electric
current in a loop surrounding the field
called Faraday¡¯s Law electromagnetic induction.
