Cathode
Physics; Electromagnetism
The positive electrode in an electric cell, such as a battery, that creates its own electricity is called cathode.
Gamma ray
Physics; Electromagnetism
A stream of electromagnetic radiation that is similar to x-ray but has shorter wavelength, is called gamma ray.
Oersted
Physics; Electromagnetism
Danish scientist who founded the scientific study of electromagnetism in 1819. He proved that electric current produces magnetic force.
