EE-General Physics II

Introduction

Electricity and Magnetism are fundamental branches of physics that explore the interactions between electric charges and magnetic fields, forming the foundation of electromagnetism. Electricity deals with the behavior of stationary and moving electric charges, encompassing concepts like electric fields, voltage, current, and resistance, as described by Coulomb's Law and Ohm's Law. Magnetism studies magnetic fields, their sources (such as moving charges or magnetic materials), and their effects, including forces and induction. The two phenomena are deeply interconnected, as demonstrated by Maxwell's equations, which unify them and explain how changing electric fields produce magnetic fields and vice versa. Together, electricity and magnetism underpin modern technologies, from power generation to electronics and communication systems.
