Referring to the combined electric and magnetic fields caused by electron motion through conductors Electrostatic Pertaining to static electricity, or electricity at rest An electric charge, for example
Relating to the interplay between electric and magnetic fields In particular, light (as well as x-rays, microwaves, gamma rays, etc ) is electromagnetic radiation, consisting of alternating electric and magnetic fields which move through space
Refers to electric and magnetic fields generated by oscillating electric charges Oscillating rates of concern for transient overvoltage range from slowly changing DC to 100's of Kilohertz
Force: The force between electrically charged or magnetised bodies, mediated by the exchange of photons and described by the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED)
Electromagnetic is used to describe the electrical and magnetic forces or effects produced by an electric current. electromagnetic fields. adj. electromagnetic field electromagnetic force electromagnetic induction electromagnetic radiation electromagnetic spectrum
A magnetic field caused by an electric current For example, the electric current in energized power lines causes electromagnetic fields that can interfere with nearby data cables
