What is electromagnetic field

An electromagnetic field is simply a type of energy that is made up of electric and magnetic forces. It surrounds us everywhere and it is responsible for things like electricity, magnetism, and even light. Electricity is like a river of energy that can power our lights, appliances, and other electrical devices. Magnetic fields are like invisible walls that can attract and repel objects. Light is a type of energy that can travel through the air and allow us to see. An example of an electromagnetic field is a magnet. Have you ever held a magnet up to a paperclip and watched it move? That’s the magnetic field at work! Fun Fact: The Earth itself has an electromagnetic field, which is why compasses point North!
