I split JohnBarchak's contribution to its own thread in Theory Development, and it can be found here.

John, please note that the appropriate place for "alternate physics sites" is the TD Forum, which is a subforum of General Physics. Thank you.
 

1. What is electromagnetism?

Electromagnetism is a branch of physics that deals with the interactions between electrically charged particles and the resulting electromagnetic fields. It also includes the study of how electric and magnetic fields can be created and manipulated to produce electromagnetic effects.

2. How does electromagnetism work?

Electromagnetism is based on the fundamental principles of electricity and magnetism. When an electric current flows through a conductor, it generates a magnetic field around the conductor. This magnetic field can then interact with other magnetic fields to produce a force, such as the attraction or repulsion between two magnets.

3. What are some real-life applications of electromagnetism?

Electromagnetism has numerous practical applications, including electric motors, generators, electromagnets, radio waves, and electromagnetic waves used in communication technologies. It is also crucial in the functioning of electronic devices such as computers, televisions, and cell phones.

4. How is electromagnetism related to light?

Electromagnetism is closely related to light as light is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves are produced by oscillating electric and magnetic fields and can travel through a vacuum at the speed of light. This means that light, radio waves, microwaves, and other types of electromagnetic radiation all share the same fundamental principles of electromagnetism.

5. What are the four fundamental forces of nature, and where does electromagnetism fit in?

The four fundamental forces of nature are the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetism, and gravity. Electromagnetism is responsible for the interactions between electrically charged particles and is the force behind all electric and magnetic phenomena. It is the second strongest force after the strong nuclear force.
