how are electricity and magnetism related?

Answer 1

The key behind that question is the word electromagnet. Notice how you have a combination of electricity and magnetism. Well an interesting property that a wire with current passing through it displays is that the wire experiences a magnetic field. This magnetic field is not like the conventional field you see in a normal magnet (South and North poles), rather, it is a field that is circular. There are no North and South poles. If you remove the current from the wire, the field disappears. So there is a link between electricity and magnetism, the link being an object with an electrical current also has a magnetic field.

When current passes through wires, a magnetic field is setup around the wire. The wire can be wound into a coil whereby you end up with an electromagnet with both a North and South poles.

Electromagnets are commonly used because of their strength and ease of use. There are great similarities in the way atoms, charge, magnets, and electrical current behave. All seem to mimic each other.

Answer 2

Electricity is the movement of electrons from one atom to the next to the next...

Magnetism is the energy fields created by these moving electrons and surrounds small particles like electrons and atoms.

When a lot of atoms are all lined up the same way, their magnetic fields are all lined up the same way and make one big magnetic field. That's how a magnet works. All the atoms in the metal of the magnet are all lined up with their magnetic fields all pointing the same way.

Answer 3

a moving charge creates a magnetic field and
a magnetic field that changes induces and electric
charge.
