Listen to a Podcast About Electromagnetism

From Maxwell's equations to modern electronics — explore the fundamental force behind light, radio waves, magnets, and virtually every technology in the modern world.

James Clerk Maxwell unified electricity and magnetism into a single theory in 1865 with four elegant equations, predicting electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light and proving that light itself is an electromagnetic phenomenon. Michael Faraday, a self-educated bookbinder's apprentice, discovered electromagnetic induction in 1831, demonstrating that a changing magnetic field produces an electric current — the principle behind every electric generator, transformer, and induction motor on Earth. Heinrich Hertz confirmed Maxwell's predictions experimentally in 1887 by generating and detecting radio waves, yet when asked about practical applications, he reportedly said "It's of no use whatsoever" — within a decade, Marconi was using radio waves for wireless telegraphy.
