Let’s Learn

Electricity and magnetism are all around you!

There is a relationship between these two
forces because electricity can produce a
magnetic field and a magnetic field can
produce electricity.

Magnetic fields and electric fields are similar
in some ways. Together, they make an
electromagnetic field.

A magnetic field is produced by a permanent
magnet.

A magnetic field is also produced by a moving electric charge. This is called
electromagnetism.

Electromagnetism is important in our daily lives because it is a force that is
used in many electrical devices.
