Answer 1

1. Electromagnetism is the branch of physics that deals with the study of the magnetic effect of current and its applications.
2. The study of electromagnetism paved a way for the development of strong electromagnets.
3. When an electric current is passed through the coil of an electromagnet, magnetism is induced in the electromagnet due to the magnetic effect of the electric current.
4. The first electromagnet was made by "William Sturgeon' who is known as the father of electromagnetism.
5. The study of electromagnetism helped in the development of electromagnets which are used in electric appliances, cranes, medical treatment, and so on.
