KEY TAKEAWAYS •

Magnetic field lines are continuous, going through the magnet itself.

The units for magnetic field are the tesla.

Motors are devices that make use of electrical energy and loops of wire that generate a magnetic force, putting torque on a shaft.

There is a strong relationship between the movement of charge and the creation of a magnetic field.

The magnetic field can cause a deflection on a galvanometer but only when the magnet is moving.

Inductance involves the generation of an emf by changing the current of a nearby device affecting another device.

Electromagnetic waves involve a wide range of frequencies, indicating a substantive similarity between electricity and magnetism.

All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light.
