electromagnetic induction

through a magnetic
field
electromagnetic radiation
Radiation-emitted
in the form of an electromagnetic
wave. Electromagnetic radiation includes
all the forms of light including
visible light.
electromagnetic wave
A wave that consists of an electric field in conjunction
with an electromagnetic field-oscillating
at the same frequency. An electromagnetic wave travels at the speed of
light. Examples of electromagnetic waves are
light, radio, etc.
electromagnetic spectrum
the entire range of light radiation
extending in frequency from approximately 1023
hertz (frequency) to 0 hertz or,
in corresponding wavelengths, from 10–13 centimeter to
infinity and including, in order of decreasing frequency,
cosmic
ray-photons,
gamma
rays, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation,
microwaves and radio waves.
electromagnetism.noun
the area of physics
that deals with electrical and magnetic-fields.
Electromagnetism is of the four fundamental forces (actually only 2 - electromagnetism
and gravity) necessary for all existence throughout the Universe; the others
being gravity,
the
strong interaction (or, the strong force), and the
weak interaction (or, the weak force)
Electromagnetism is magnetism
developed by a current of electricity; a fundamental
physical force that is responsible for interactions between charged particles
which occur because of their charge and for the emission
and absorption of photons, which, of the four forces is about 100 times
weaker than the strong force (or, interaction), and that extends over infinite
distances but is dominant over
atomic
and molecular distances – called also electromagnetic force; compare gravity,
strong force, weak force.
Electromagmetism is a branch of physical
science that deals with the physical relations between electricity
and magnetism.
electron microscope
uses electrons instead of light as optical microscopes
do; microscopy on the Net
electron transport
a sequence
of biochemical reduction oxidation
reactions that affect the transfer of electrons through a series of carriers
The successive passage of electrons from one cytochrome
(proteins containing iron) or flavoprotein (a group of enzymes containing
flavin bound to protein and acting as dehydrogenation catalysts
in biological reactions) to another by a series of oxidation reduction
reactions during the aerobic production of ATP,
with the electrons originating from an oxidizable substrate
and ultimately being passed to molecular
oxygen. The oxidation reduction reactions generate the energy required
for the production of ATP.
England/United Kingdom
a division of the United
Kingdom, the southern part of the island of Great
Britain; originally settled by Celtic peoples, it was subsequently
conquered by Romans, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Danes and Normans; acts of

largest city
