Electromagnetism, physics ka ek fundamental branch hai jo electricity aur magnetism ke interaction ko study karta hai. James Clerk Maxwell ne is field ka foundation establish kiya aur unke equations se modern technology ka base tayar hua. Electromagnetism har roz ke life aur industry me central role play karta hai. Is post me hum electromagnetism ke applications ko detail me samjhenge, unke principles, examples aur real-world uses ko cover karenge.
1. Introduction to Electromagnetism
Electromagnetism wo phenomenon hai jahan electric charges ke movement se magnetic field generate hota hai aur vice versa, magnetic field ke change se electric field induce hota hai. Ye principles Faraday’s Law of Induction, Lenz’s Law aur Maxwell’s equations se define hote hain.
Key concepts:
- Electric Current: Charges ka flow jo magnetic field create karta hai.
- Magnetic Field: Space me region jahan magnetic force act karta hai.
- Electromagnet: Ek coil jisme current pass karne par magnetic field produce hota hai, aur ye field magnet ki tarah kaam karta hai.
- Induction: Changing magnetic field ke through voltage ka generate hona.
Electromagnetism ki applications almost har field me milti hain — medical, industrial, communication, transportation, home appliances aur scientific instruments.
