Physics
Electromagnetism is made up of two words, Electric and Magnet. When electric charges move, they create a magnetic field around them. This is known as electromagnetism. To demonstrate Electromagnetism, scientists have created an electromagnet by charging a coil of wires. What makes these magnets so useful is that they can
