What is electromagnetism?

 

 

Electromagnetism is the production of magnetism from electricity ( as the name suggests!! )

A normal magnet has it’s strength determined by it’s size and the material it is made of.

The solenoid has it’s strength determined by the current voltage flowing through it and the amount of turns it has.

But the electromagnet has it’s strength and field determined by the current, the amount of turns and the core shape and substance.
