'''Electromagnetism''' encompasses both the [[magnetic field]] generated by the flow of electricity and the effects that this field exerts on charged particles.

A moving charged particle will induce a magnetic field. This field propagates at right angles to the flow of particles which caused it, that is if an [[electron]] is moving forward the magnetic field will propagate left to right, in actuality it spirals around the path of the electron. In a conductor with many electrons moving in the same direction the collective induced magnetic fields can be seen as a cylindrical field around the wire.

The magnetic fields induced in electromagnetism can in turn produce a force on a charged particle due to their interaction with the induced field of the particle. This phenomenon is known as the [[motor effect]].
