Electromagnetism

Electromagnetism is a type of energy, or 'force', that is all around us. It is created by passing electric current through a wire or metal coil, which creates a magnetic field. This field can then be used to attract or repel objects, just like a magnet. Some examples of electromagnetism are found in electricity and magnetism, like when an electric current produces a magnetic field, or when a magnet produces an electric current.
