Proof For Electromagnetism

[Gavin 0]

I dunno but there doesn't seem to be any real evidence cos it's all just a theory. Like.. can we see it?

[Micronblast 1]

Take two magnets. They come together.

 

 

 

 

Is this thread serious? My sarcasm detector has gone off the charts.

That's not electromagnetism. Electromagnetism is a magnetic material that is not a magnet (such as iron) and passing an electric current through or around it to make it magnetically charged.

 

Anyway, the proof you have is we have those magnets at scrapyards. Like these.

Its possible to see electricity, but magnetism is a invisible and abstract force.

And did you know the color of electricity varies from what charge it is on?

3 1,5v batteries makes a purple line and stronger is blue.

But its not red electricity, only purple at lowest power.

 

No, magnetism is abstarct and just a invisible force from either electricity or a magnet.

I don't know but you might have heard of a little thing called "MRI".

Isn't normal magnetism induced by the orientation of domains (electron direction) in a metal? Or is that ye-olde school simplification?

 

 

But I admit, I misread epically

[Wiltingplant 7]

You're right -- we can't see it so it probably doesn't exist.

 

Goodbye, gravity

Stop disrespecting his beliefs!

It's the phenomena when an electric current is run through a metal, creating a magnetic force, nothing theoretic about that. The theory is the part that explains the phenomena, the commonly accepted one having something to do with orientation of the electrons in the atoms.. or something. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetism

 

I think the OP meant whether or not that theory has been proved, or if it is simply a generally accepted theory. Owing to its nature as a scientific theory, it is based on the results of various tests and is considered highly likely to be true, but has not been proved true by actual observation of the electrons switching directions. This of course because electrons are way, way, WAY too small to be observed visually, being only a tiny fraction the size of an atom. We can't even visualize atoms properly, so the only real way to form theories on these small particle scales is by doing experiments and looking for logical conclusions, like the theory behind electromagnetism.

That's not electromagnetism! That's just magnetism! What about electromagnetism?

Can we see oxygen, or gravity, or heat?

[Gillis 2]

Well it's obvious that electromagnetism exists. It says so in my Physics textbook.

I've realised that a lot of people actually don't know what they're talking about.

That doesn't allow you to contradict them without proof!

We don't need proof. Only they need proof.

Yes. Yes we can.

Its impossible to see by the human eye, but of course a machine can see it if it uses the right frequence of detection,

but its not possible to see by your own eye.

Its actually very strange, that an object can pull specific metals to it.

Ever tried to dig down a magnet and dig it up again?

You will get small metal-particles on it and some bigger.

Metals are everywhere..

And same with cells

You can only see them clear through a electron-microscope. (then its about the smallest ones.. )

But oxygen is difficult to keep still, it would need a tiny, tiny, tiny box filled with just oxygen..

Well i think you can recognize heat but you can't actuallty see it ????

and isn't electromagnetism electric? because electricity can only be seen at this point in time in models and such the best microscrope is one that uses Electron

i seriously dont know what am talking about here so dont spam or flame me do that to the kittens

Electromagnetism isn't just magnetism. It's the interaction between charged particles in an electromagnetic field. Electric fields and magnetic fields are interlinked, hence electromagnetic field. These interactions are governed by electromagnetic radiation. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Hence, we can see electromagnetism.

So its about that a group of cells that has more protons then neutrons?

Which would make it +1 or more?

or is that a isotope?

I have heard electromagnetism before.

 

Therefore I see no reason not to believe it.
