elektromagnetinis

Elektromagnetinis refers to phenomena and concepts related to electricity and magnetism. These two forces are intrinsically linked and are considered different aspects of a single fundamental force: the electromagnetic force. An electromagnetic field is a field of force associated with electrically charged objects. This field can exert forces on other charged objects.

The electromagnetic force is responsible for a vast array of phenomena in the universe, from the structure of atoms and molecules to the behavior of light. Electric fields are produced by stationary electric charges, while magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges (electric currents) and by magnetic materials. A changing electric field can generate a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field can generate an electric field, a principle known as electromagnetic induction. This interplay is the basis for technologies like electric generators and transformers.

Electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light, radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays, are propagating waves in which electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation. The spectrum of electromagnetic radiation covers an enormous range of wavelengths and frequencies, each with distinct properties and applications. The study of electromagnetism is a cornerstone of physics and has led to numerous technological advancements that shape modern life.
