Question

How are electricity and magnetism similar?

Answer 1

They are similar in that both relate to the electron. An electron is formed by means of electromagnetic energy. When this energy enters near the nucleus of an atom it forms electron pairs. One electron is positive in charge and the other negative. Their charge is due to their direction of spin. When the positive electron meets with another electron having an opposite change, the two annihilate into radiation once again.

The electron is formed into dimensional existence by completing an arc greater than that of 360 degrees and overlapping part of its frequency. The overlapping of its frequency acts as a bond, perfectly matching frequency with frequency; much like if you were to take a long door spring and form that into a circle and shove the two ends together sideways. The spring would remain bonded.

When the electron is formed in this manner there are three major parts to its formation. The southern half is formed into mass (offers resistence to movement). The northern half becomes extended lines of force due to resistence to the spin of the electron. Then throughout the equatorial region exists the electric field.

As an electron passes down a wire the magnetic lines offer mutual resistence toward the center of the conductor, which is the reason that a magnetic field exists automatically along a wire that has a current passing through it.

Then, were you to have a wire having no current passing through it, and were you to pass that wire through a magnetic field, an electrical current would be generated through the wire due to the magnetic lines forming an energy potential within the electrons of the wire that is greater than when the electrons are at rest. All part of creation!

Answer 2

Magnetism is an aspect of electricity.

Check the below link (google videos). Its an amazing lecture from University of California, Berkeley. The professor teaches similarities in electricity and magnetism and tells you the correlation.

Answer 3

When electromagnetic (EM) waves propagate the electric part of the wave is orthogonal (90 degrees away) to the magnetic part. That is why they are similar, they are really the same thing. Did I just echo a previous answerer?

Answer 4

Layman's terms: Electricity is the movement of electrons. Magnetism is formed when electricity flows through a wire.
Electron flow creates a magnetic field. Conversely, if a magenetic field moves through a wire, it forces electrons to move.

Answer 5

They are two aspects of the same phenomena: electromagnetism. Any duality is false.
