  Electromagnetism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electromagnetism is the physics of the electromagnetic field; a field encompassing all of space which exerts a force on particles that possess the property of electric charge, and is in turn affected by the presence and motion of those particles.
An accurate theory of electromagnetism, known as classical electromagnetism, was developed by various physicists over the course of the 19th century, culminating in the work of James Clerk Maxwell, who unified the preceding developments into a single theory and discovered the electromagnetic nature of light.
In classical electromagnetism, the electromagnetic field obeys a set of equations known as Maxwell's equations, and the electromagnetic force is given by the Lorentz force law.

 PowerPedia:Tesla's Dynamic Theory of Gravity - PESWiki
It is a unified field theory to unify all the fundamental forces (such as the force between all masses) and particle responses into a single theoretical framework.
Tesla's theory states that the phenomena produced by electromagnetic forces is the most important phenomenon in the universe.
Electromagnetic force is a phenomenon produced through the medium in space (eg., the result of the medium acting upon ponderable matter).

 Theory: Electromagnetic Interactions (SLAC VVC)
Electromagnetic interactions are responsible for the binding force that causes negatively charged electrons to combine with positively charged nuclei to form atoms.
Residual electromagnetic interactions between electrically neutral atoms are responsible for the binding of atoms to form molecules and most of the forces (apart from gravity) that we experience in everyday life.
Electromagnetic interactions are also responsible for electric and magnetic field formation around electric charges and electric currents, and for traveling electromagnetic waves such as light, radio-waves, x-rays, and microwaves.

 Electromagnetic Theory
The full unification of the theories of electricity and magnetism was achieved by the English physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves and identified light as an electromagnetic phenomenon.
This theory is an early example of the description of large-scale properties in terms of the properties of electrons and atoms.
Langevin's theory was subsequently expanded by the French physicist Pierre Ernst Weiss, who postulated the existence of an internal, "molecular" magnetic field in materials such as iron.

 LOW ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE - Electromagnetic Theory
When the weight of the atmosphere over the surface decrease in a given zone, due to the closiness of the nucleus protuberance, clouds flow toward that area because in nearby zones atmospheric pressure is greater and clouds formations always will displace or flow toward the lower resistance zone, which is the low atmospheric pressure zone.
The planet atmosphere is of positive electromagnetic polarity while the clouds and cloud formations within the atmosphere are predominantly negative.
The positive electromagnetic nature of the atmosphere holds it in position, without disgregating into Space since it is attracted by the biosphere, negative.

 The Theory of the Electron   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
However, relativity was not applied to the theory in a consistent way and, consequently, the difficulty that the union of relativity and electron theory could have removed, remained there for many years.
In the classical theory this problem involved divergent integrals associated with the electromagnetic mass of the point electron, or equivalently, it involved the structure dependence of the whole theory in the case of finite size electrons.
It is furthermore implied by every practicing physicist who uses the classical theory for the construction of accelerators (orbit calculations) and the quantum theory for the prediction of the experiments he plans to conduct with these machines.

 Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In electromagnetics, Maxwell's equations are a set of four equations, developed by James Clerk Maxwell, that describe the behavior of both the electric and magnetic fields, as well as their interactions with matter.
Maxwell, in his 1864 paper A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field, was the first to put all four equations together and to notice that a correction was required to Ampere's law: changing electric fields act like currents, likewise producing magnetic fields.
Einstein motivated the special theory by noting that a description of a conductor moving with respect to a magnet must generate a consistent set of fields irrespective of whether the frame is the magnet frame or the conductor frame.

 Unified Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Four distinct forces are known to control all the observed interactions in matter: gravitation, electromagnetism, the strong force (a short-range force that holds atomic nuclei together), and the weak force (the force responsible for slow nuclear processes, such as beta decay).
One of the first to attempt the development of such a theory was Albert Einstein, whose work in relativity had led him to the hypothesis that it should be possible to find a unifying theory for the electromagnetic and gravitational forces.
According to this theory the electromagnetic interaction consists of the exchange of a photon, and the weak interaction of the exchange of W and Z intermediate bosons.

 Electromagnetic Field Theory Internet Textbook
Written with the advanced undergraduate or graduate student in mind, Electromagnetic Field Theory is a textbook on the theory of electrodynamics, at roughly the same level as the well-known textbooks by Jackson and Panofsky&Phillips.
It treats relativistic covariance and the Lagrangian/Hamiltionan formulation of electromagnetic field theory, with an eye on modern ideas of duality and unification of theories, and includes a rigorous, comprehensive and detailed treatment of EM radiation phenomena and some elements of semiclassical quantum electrodynmaics.
Electromagnetic Field Theory is intended as an Internet source which is freely available to physics students, at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level, and research workers anywhere.

 Einstein on the Photoelectric Effect - David Cassidy
The total energy of the light beam (or the total output of an assembly plant) is the sum total of the individual energies of these discrete "light quanta" (or automobiles), what are called today "photons." Theories of matter and electromagnetic radiation in which the total energy is treated as "quantized" are known as quantum theories.
Scientists at the German bureau of standards in Berlin, who were interested in setting standards for the emerging electric lighting industry in Germany, had measured the distribution of the total electromagnetic energy in a fl box—which would also apply to a glowing light bulb—among the different wavelengths of the light.
The wave theory of light could not yield a satisfactory account of this, since the energy of a wave is spread over its entire surface.

 The Electromagnetic Field
Maxwell's theory of electromagnetic radiation was without doubt his greatest piece of work.
It was in 1831, though, that Faraday made his most renowned experiment demonstrating electromagnetic induction by winding insulated wire around one side of an iron ring and connecting a second winding on the other side to a galvanometer.
He developed equations to describe the electromagnetic field, which showed that light is propagated in two waves, electric and magnetic, which vibrate perpendicular to each other and to the direction in which they are moving (see figure 5.3.1).

 Electromagnetic Field Theory Group at IFH
Field Theory or Electromagnetics is a discipline that describes the behavior of electric and magnetic fields and their sources in a specific environment.
Thus a continuous physical reality, the electromagnetic field, is represented by a discretized, sampled numerical approximation to replicate the behavior of the actual problem with appropriate accuracy and resolution.
Therefore the discipline of field theory or electromagnetics is nowadays often referred to as computational electromagnetics.

Although topology was recognized by Gauss and Maxwell to play apivotal role in the formulation of electromagnetic boundary value problems, it is a largely unexploited tool for field computation.
