Description
A discussion of the
basic concepts of magnetism, including magnetic fields, magnetic poles, and
electromagnets. I also discuss the ultimate subatomic source of magnetic force
in the phenomenon of electric spin, and explain how this leads to the different
types of magnetic materials: ferromagnets, paramagnets, and diamagnets. I
conclude with some applications of electromagnetism, including electric
generators and motors, transformers, and a brief discussion of Maxwell's
equations. Recommended prelistening is Episode 43: Electric Forces and
Fields.
