Electromagneticism is a field of science that deals with the study of electromagnetic forces, phenomena, and radiation. In scientific literature, it is also referred to as electromagnetism, electromagnetic theory, or electromagnetic physics. Other synonyms for electromagneticism include electromagnetics, electromagnetic field, and electromagnetic spectrum. The term magnetism is often used interchangeably with the concept of electromagneticism, as they both relate to the properties and interactions of magnetic fields and electric charges. Studying electromagneticism has played a fundamental role in the development of modern technology, from communication and energy systems to medical imaging and quantum computing.
