  Electromagnetism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electromagnetism is the physics of the electromagnetic field: a field, encompassing all of space, which exerts a force on those particles that possess the property of electric charge, and is in turn affected by the presence and motion of such 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.

 Electricity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electric charge is a property of certain subatomic particles (e.g., electrons and protons) which interacts with electromagnetic fields and causes attractive and repulsive forces between them.
The electric potential difference between two points is defined as the work done per unit charge (against electrical forces) in moving a positive point charge slowly between two points.
If one of the points is taken to be a reference point with zero potential, then the electric potential at any point can be defined in terms of the work done per unit charge in moving a positive point charge from that reference point to the point at which the potential is to be determined.

 Siemens (unit)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The siemens (symbol: S) is the SI derived unit of electric conductance.
The term siemens, as it is an SI unit, is used universally in science and primarily in electrical applications, while mho is still used primarily in electronic applications.
The upside down ohm symbol, while not an official SI unit, has the advantage of being less likely to be confused with a variable than the letter S when doing algebraic calculations by hand, where the usual typographical distinctions (such as italic for variables and roman for unit names) are difficult to maintain.

The sizes of the coherent CGS units in the fields of electricity and magnetism, proved to be inconvenient so, in the 1880s, the BAAS and the International Electrical Congress, predecessor of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), approved a mutually coherent set of practical units.
The name International System of Units (SI) was given to the system by the 11th CGPM in 1960.
At the 14th CGPM in 1971 the current version of the SI was completed by adding the mole as base unit for amount of substance, bringing the total number of base units to seven.

Between any two points in the field, there is defined an electric potential difference where the unit is a volt.
Between two points in an electrical circuit the potential difference is equal to the difference in their electrical potentials.
In the SI system of units, potential difference, electrical potential and electromotive force are measured in volts, leading to the commonly used term voltage and the symbol V.

Electromagnetism is the physics of the electromagnetic field: a field, encompassing all of space, which exerts a force on those particles that possess a property known as electric charge, and is in turn affected by the presence and motion of such particles.
The term electrodynamics is sometimes used to refer to the combination of electromagnetism with mechanics, and deals with the effects of the electromagnetic field on the dynamic behavior of electrically-charged particles.
Because of this inter-dependence between the electric and magnetic fields, it makes sense to consider them as a single, theoretically coherent entity — the electromagnetic field.

Magnetic field density, otherwise known as magnetic flux density, is essentially what the layman knows as a magnetic field—akin to a gravitational or electric field.
The SI unit of magnetic flux density is the tesla.
To put it in perspective: the most powerful superconducting electromagnets in the world have flux densities of 'only' 20 T. This is true obviously for both electromagnets and natural magnets, but a magnetic field can only act on moving charge—hence the current, I, in the equation.

This can arise either from movement of electrons in an electric current, resulting in "electromagnetism", or from the quantum-mechanical orbital motion (there is no orbital motion of electrons around the nucleus like planets around the sun, but there is an "effective electron velocity") and spin of electrons, resulting in what are known as "permanent magnets".
Electromagnets are useful in cases where a magnet must be switched on or off; for instance, large cranes to lift junked automobiles.
