Magnetism vs. Electromagnetism

Magnetismnoun

(physics) The property of being magnetic.

Magnetismnoun

(physics) The science which treats of magnetic phenomena.

Magnetismnoun

Power of attraction; power to excite the feelings and to gain the affections.

Magnetismnoun

The property, quality, or state, of being magnetic; the manifestation of the force in nature which is seen in a magnet. At one time it was believed to be separate from the electrical force, but it is now known to be intimately associated with electricity, as part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism.

Magnetismnoun

Magnetismnoun

Power of attraction; power to excite the feelings and to gain the affections.

Magnetismnoun

attraction for iron; associated with electric currents as well as magnets; characterized by fields of force

Magnetismnoun

the branch of science that studies magnetism

Magnetism

Magnetism is a class of physical attributes that are mediated by magnetic fields. Electric currents and the magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, which acts on other currents and magnetic moments.

Electromagnetismnoun

A unified fundamental force that combines the aspects of electricity and magnetism and is one of the four fundamental forces. (technically it can be unified with weak nuclear to form electroweak) Its gauge boson is the photon.

Electromagnetismnoun

Electricity and magnetism, collectively, as a field of study.

Electromagnetismnoun

magnetism produced by an electric current;

Electromagnetismnoun

the branch of physics concerned with electromagnetic phenomena

Electromagnetism

Electromagnetism is a branch of physics involving the study of the electromagnetic force, a type of physical interaction that occurs between electrically charged particles. The electromagnetic force is carried by electromagnetic fields composed of electric fields and magnetic fields, and it is responsible for electromagnetic radiation such as light.
