Electromagnetism Concepts and Applications

The video introduces electromagnetism, starting with a review of electricity and magnetism. It explains how electric currents create magnetic fields, a concept discovered by Hans Christian Oersted. The video demonstrates how electromagnets work by wrapping conductive wire around a metal bar and connecting it to a battery. It highlights the applications of electromagnets in devices like bells, car brakes, and cranes. The video concludes with a call to subscribe for more educational content.
