Electromagnets by Steven

Well they work by electric charges that are vibrating. These waves carry energy from one place to another. They don’t require matter to move energy unlike sound waves and water waves. These waves can travel anywhere, even where matter isn’t present. They transfer energy from electric to magnetic fields. Just like magnets electricity has its own field around it. This is called an electric field. The energy carried by an electromagnetic wave is called radiant energy.

Electromagnetic waves are everywhere surrounding us right now. Without them we couldn’t do anything. Since the radiant energy is being transferred this also allows us to feel warmth from a fire and allows us to see.
