- And that's, my friends, is today's lesson on electromagnetism.
- The corrections to electromagnetism, they're mostly the ones that we see are mostly coming from quantum effects.
- Well, they react at the speed of electromagnetism between atoms.
- So as we all know, electromagnetism is radiation, therefore it's bad.
- All right, Maybe that's all we have to do to think about gravity with electromagnetism.
- But this was a discovery, you know, again, that our paradigmatic force theory that we thought we understood was electromagnetism going back to Maxwell.
- The pariah of heat and electromagnetism is regulated by the Arduino according to the progression of the atmospheric pressure.

Morphology
electromagnetism = electromagnet (semi-transparent) = electro + magnet + ism
The word is transparently built from 'electromagnet' plus '-ism', but the resulting sense is a specialized field of study rather than a simple literal combination.
Etymology
The word electromagnetism starts with electro- (from electron, a Greek word for 'amber', because rubbing amber can make a small electric charge) and adds magnet (a rock that 'pulls' iron), so it literally links electricity and magnets. So, electromagnetism is the force that explains how electricity and magnets work together.
