Fact of the Day: 18/11/2020

Cars powered from a pad in the ground, devices charged by just placing them on your desk, and entire cities powered without the need for cables or wires running from home to home – it all seems like futuristic science fiction! But with electromagnetic induction, the future is closer than ever.

An electromagnet is a simple circuit connected to a power source and a magnet, or a conductive metal with a charge. Induction is the ability to transfer charge from one object to another without needing them to touch. As a result, if we used electromagnets to conduct electricity for things like electric cars, devices, and even entire homes, while utilizing the science of induction to transfer that current… the possibilities are endless!

Check out this video to learn more about the world of electromagnetic induction.
