Magnetism and Electromagnetism Concepts

The video introduces electromagnetism, starting with a review of electricity and magnetism. It explains how electric currents produce magnetic fields, a concept discovered by Hans Christian Oersted. The video demonstrates how electromagnets work by using electric currents to generate magnetic fields, and discusses their applications in various technologies like bells, car brakes, and cranes. The video concludes with a call to subscribe for more educational content.
