Electromagnetism
Magnetic field
Physics; Electromagnetism
The area around a magnet in which objects can be affected by the force of the magnet.
Maxwell
Physics; Electromagnetism
Scottish scientist who studied electricity and magnetism. He studied colour and produced the first colour photograph in 1861.
Quantum
Physics; Electromagnetism
A unit that is used to measure energy, especially in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
X-ray
Physics; Electromagnetism
A stream of electromagnetic radiation that has wavelengths shorter than those of ultra-violet light is called x-ray.
Magnetism
Physics; Electromagnetism
The force produced by a magnetic field. Magnetism can cause certain materials, like iron and steel, to be attracted to a magnet.
Magnetic pole
Physics; Electromagnetism
Either of two opposite areas of a magnet where the magnetic field is strong. They are called the north pole and the south pole.
Magnetise
Physics; Electromagnetism
To cause an object to become magnetic. A nail can be magnetised by wrapping it in a wire and connecting the wire to a battery.
