Northern LightsEffect caused by charged solar particles hitting upper atmosphere
DomainsGroups of atoms with aligned magnetic poles
Electromagnetic ForceThe attractive or repulsive force between electric charges and magnets
SolenoidA coil of wire that produces a magnetic field when carrying an electric current
ElectromagnetA magnet that consists of a solenoid wrapped around an iron core
Electric motorConverts electrical energy to kinetic energy
CommutatorMetal loop with breaks in it, interrupts current in electric motor
GalvanometerA device used to measure current through the interaction of an electromagnet and a permanent magnet
Electromagnetic InductionGenerating an electric current by moving a conductor in a magnetic field
GeneratorConverts kinetic energy to electrical energy
TurbineDevice with fanlike blades that turn when pushed
TransformerDevice that increases or decreases the voltage of an alternating current
Step-up transformerConverts low voltage to high voltage
