(The following introduction is more expository than the introductions for other topic domains. The reader is encouraged to take each statement and pose it as a question that should be challenged by experiment. Indeed, would such challenges lead to further knowledge and further application?)
Electromagnetism, or the unified theory of electric and magnetic fields, could be said to be the workhorse of technology. With applications as widely diverse as the function of integrated circuits, the generation of gigawatts of electric power, and the transmission of cell phone signals, electromagnetism governs many of the devices and systems that contemporary civilization uses to go about its business. The fact that electromagnetism is so pervasive is perhaps now not so great a mystery...(more)
