Question #3f284
1 Answer
Electricity is a form of energy that results from a charged particle (usually electrons). When these charged particles start moving they result in a physical phenomenon known as magnetism.
Explanation:
Electricity is a form of energy that results from the existence of charged particles. When these charged particles are at rest, it's called static electricity. when these charged particles are moving, it's called current electricity.
Magnetism is a physical phenomenon caused by moving charges which results in attractive or repulsive properties of an object.
Example
Let's take a circuit consisting of a battery and a bulb.
When we connect the battery and the bulb, the bulb lights up.
This happens because the battery provides the energy needed by the electrons in the wire to move, in turn creating current electricity.
These moving electrons create a magnetic field around the wire. When you take a compass near that wire, the magnet in the compass will move due to the magnetic field created by the moving electrons.
