electromagnetism

Explore the basics of magnets, looking at topics such as poles, electromagnets, and how we use the Earth's magnetic field to find our way.

While at a protest, Virgil Hawkins is sprayed with an experimental tear gas, and while some at the protest were maimed or killed, Virgil finds himself with the amazing new ability to channel and manipulate electromagnetic fields. But Virgil soon realizes he isn't the only one with powers. A new enemy named Hotstreak appears, and Virgil sets out to take him down.

My First Book of Electromagnetism uses fascinating bite-size facts, clear and simple explanations and attractive and absorbing illustrations to illuminate the mysteries of electricity and magnetism.

Discusses the author's discovery of electrical currents in parts of the nervous system, reviewing his experiments on regeneration in animals, and looks at the resulting medical advances and possible future applications of electromagnetic technology.

Introduces electromagnetic and mechanical waves, discussing the properties of waves, the electromagnetic spectrum, and vibrations.

Photographs, illustrations, and simple text describe how electromagnetism works.

Magnets are all around us, but how do they work? This innovate book delves into that question and many more, showing readers how the pushes and pulls of magnetic force impact both our planet and everyday lives. Informative flowcharts bring magnetism concepts to life giving readers extra incentive to learn more about magnetic materials, how magnets are used in motors, and much more.

Physics deals with subjects ranging from how things move to the creation of our universe. This book introduces us to what is being learned about the relationship of gravity, electricity, and magnetism at the subatomic level.

This book explains to young readers the concept of magnetism. With lots of pictures and examples it makes learning easy and fun. This book, along with the other five books in the series, will stimulate their curiosity and give youngsters an excellent foundation in physics.

"Page after page, this title proves that the power of attraction is undeniable. Readers move beyond a simple fascination with the power of magnets to a clear understanding of the science behind magnetics. Natural magnets, Earth's magnetic field, and the ties between electricity and magnetics are all featured, in addition to the creation and use of magnets in commercial and everyday applications. Information about the life and work of physicist Joseph Henry, a leading electromagnetics pioneer, and a timeline of important dates in the field are also included" -- Provided by publisher.
