Magnetism

Part 5: Magnetism

This part introduces the fundamental concepts of magnetism and its close relationship with electricity. You will learn how permanent magnets and electric currents produce magnetic fields, how magnetic fields exert forces on moving charges and current-carrying conductors, and how these interactions are described quantitatively. These principles explain the operation of electric motors, generators, electromagnets, and many technologies used in science, engineering, and healthcare.

The concepts developed in this part establish the connection between electricity and magnetism, providing the foundation for the study of electromagnetic induction, alternating current, electromagnetic waves, and many modern medical imaging and diagnostic technologies.

This part contains the following chapters:

  1. Introduction to Magnetism
  2. Magnets
  3. Ferromagnets and Electromagnets
  4. Magnetic Fields and Magnetic Field Lines
