Electromagnetism and Electrical Devices

The video explores the principles of electromagnetism, focusing on generators, motors, and transformers. It explains how wind turbines and ceiling fans operate on opposite principles, with turbines generating electricity from wind and fans creating wind from electricity. The video covers the applications of generators in wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal power, as well as the role of motors in electric cars and speakers. Finally, it discusses transformers and their function in changing voltage for efficient electricity transfer.
