Electrical Energy and Magnetism

Electrical energy, also known as electricity, is energy that is released through the movement of electrons. Magnetism is also a form of energy, and is produced by a magnet. Electrical energy and magnetic energy are very closely related and can be converted to each other through the use of an electromagnet.

Example- An electromagnet converts electrical energy into magnetic electrical energy. An electric current will generate a magnetic field. A simple electromagnet can have a wire connected to a battery (chemical energy converted to electrical energy). The wire than coils around a metal object. The metal object then becomes magnetic.
