Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This paper starts by considering electric potential, electric fields and dielectrics, including basic theory and how to make measurements of electric fields. Then magnetic fields are introduced, including the magnetic effects of currents and permanent magnets and applications such as motors. Finally, the two concepts are combined together, with electromagnetic induction, and examples given in terms of magnetic stimulation, transformers, electrical noise, electromagnetic waves and antennas.
