is just tiny particles (electrons) hanging out or moving.
Let’s be honest: when you hear the words "Electromagnetic Theory," your brain probably visions a dusty chalkboard covered in terrifying Greek symbols and a professor who hasn't seen sunlight since the 90s.
This was Maxwell’s "Aha!" moment. He realized that if an electric field changes, it creates a magnetic field. That magnetic field then changes, which creates an electric field.
In electromagnetism, we deal with two main types of "disturbances" on that trampoline:
Richard Feynman was the king of explaining hard stuff simply.
Electric charges create electric fields. Positive charges spray field lines out; negative charges suck them in.
Point your in the direction of the current (where the electricity is flowing). Curl your fingers.
