My First Book of Electromagnetism

You go into your room. Everything’s dark. You feel your way along the wall to find the switch. Easy. You know where it is. The instant you push it, the room lights up as if by magic.

Nowadays, electricity and magnetism are all around us and we use them for nearly everything. In fact, it’s hard to find anything that works without them. We use electricity and magnetism to light our houses and our streets, cook with induction hobs, keep our fridges cold, heat food with microwaves, watch TV, play video games, surf the internet on our computers, send messages on our mobile phones, listen to music with earphones… The list is endless.

But, what actually is Electricity? What has it got to do with magnets? What is Magnetism? And the most fascinating thing of all, what has all this got to do with Light?
We will answer these and other questions in this book, as we venture into the fabulous world of Electromagnetism.

The authors of the Dr. Albert series have made the impossible possible: that we get to understand how Electromagnetism works!
