Dear Readers,
Radhekrishna!

The agenda of this article is to explain a few concepts related to electromagnetism.
In the concept of electromagnetism, Flemings Left Hand Rule and Flemings Right Hand Rule play a significant role.

They explain the relationship between

1) The Conductor
2) Electricity
3) Magnetism.

The concept which lies here is, when electricity passes through the conducting medium (conductor), a magnetic filed is created around it.

For the purpose of understanding this rule, hold your left hand as follows:

The thumb pointing upwards and the index finger pointing in a direction parallel to the ground. The other fingers are closed in the palm. (These directions are for a person standing on the ground in an upright vertical position.)

Supposing the direction in which the electricity was conducted through the conducting medium was represented in the direction of index finger, and if the magnetic field is represented in the direction of say towards the little finger, then the direction in which the electricity will be flowing, can be represented as the direction of thumb pointing upwards.

Electromagnet – the concept behind this is – When a conducting body attains magnetic power, on passage of electric current through it, then that body is called as electromagnet. However, the body loses the magnetic power, when the passage of electric current is stopped.

Let us take a very practical and day to day example on this concept. All of us are very well aware of the door bell. The door bell in our house works on this principle. When we press the button, the electricity passes to the magnet. The magnet gets magnetic power through the electricity. It starts vibrating. It (the magnet) hits, the bell and creates the sound. When we release our fingers, the passage of electricity is stopped. The magnet loses the magnetic power. So, it does not vibrate. So, the magnet does not hit the bell and the bell remains in rest. As a result no sound is produced.

In short, when current is on, the magnetic power is on.
In short, when the current is off, the magnetic power is off.

Note: The term current refers to the passing of electricity through it.
This is what electromagnetism is.

Let us continue discussions on this concept in the next article. We will concentrate on linking this topic with Hinduism. This is what the main purpose of our blog is; proving that all the concepts that science has to offer are a part of the great parcel named 'Hinduism'.
