Electromagnetic Quizzes & Trivia

Electromagnetism is one of the most fascinating aspects of science. Electromagnetism plays a much bigger role in our lives than most of us realize. How much do you know about electricity, magnets and how they work as a united force?

Most people don’t realize that it wasn’t until the 1873 Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism was written that the connection between magnetism and electricity was really understood. Do you know who wrote it? In fact, his work was based on a discovery in 1820 involving Hans Christian Ørsted, a battery, and a compass! Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental forces. Can you name any of the other three? If you can, then you might be ready to try out some of our quizzes and see how well you can do!
