Electromagnetism Concepts and Applications in Everyday Life

The video explores electromagnetism, explaining how electric currents create magnetic fields in wires, coils, solenoids, and electromagnets. It introduces the right-hand rule to determine magnetic field direction and discusses how coils and solenoids form magnetic fields. The video also covers the properties of electromagnets, including how to control and enhance their strength using current, coil turns, and iron cores.
