Title Description

This program is about magnetism and its relationship to electricity. Hans Oersted discovered that an electric current running through a wire could cause a magnetic effect. Then in 1831, Michael Faraday conducted experiments that showed that magnetism could cause a flow of electricity. Electromagnets and maglev trains are also discussed.
