Hurricanes, Tesla Coils, and (Electro-magnetic) Field Effects

Dr. Eric Karlstrom

Earths Magnetic Field (NASA)

Electromagnetic spectrum

Electromagnetic forceElectromagnetic field exerts this force on electrically charged particles. This is one of four fundamental forces. This force holds protons, neutrons and electrons together in atomsA changing magnetic field exerts an electric field, conversely, a changing electric field generates a magnetic field.What we observe as light is an electromagnetic wave, a propagated oscillatory disturbance in electromagnetic field.
