demonstrated that two wires carrying current
could be made to attract or repel each other
ampere’s law
changing magnetic field causes electricity to flow in an electric circuit
electromagnetic induction
He was able to wrap a large number of turns of
wire around the core and thus, greatly increase
the power of a magnet.
electromagnetic magnetic self induction
Proof of the
existence of
electromagnetic
waves, Hertz’s
principle of least
curvature, the
photoelectric effect
and the speed of the
EM wave.
em waves existence
are emitted by
vibrating/accelerating electric
charges, with the electric field and
magnetic field vibrating
perpendicularly to each other and
to the direction of wave
propagation.
electromagnetic waves
are temporary
disturbance that transfer energy
from one place to another
waves
is the height
of a wave and is usually
measured in meters.
amplitude
is the
distance between two
consecutive crests or
troughs and usually
measured in meters.
wavelength
is the number of waves
passing a point in a certain time. It
is measured as 1 wave/sec or 1
Hertz.
