What is an electromagnet force?

Electromagnetic force is energy created by the movement of electrically-charged atomic particles (protons and electrons). Whenever this type of energy is being released, there is both a flow (current) of charged particles, usually electrons, and a magnetic field that represents their flow in closed paths.

The basic form of electromagnetism is the attraction between charged particles in an atom: the protons (+) and electrons (-). The protons repel each other but are held in place by another force, the strong nuclear force. The electrons are held in their orbitals by attraction to the protons, and kept separate as they repel the other electrons.

The alignment of these charges in a number of atoms creates a magnetic field, and the motion of a magnetic field can generate an electric current. Conversely, the application of a flow of current can generate a magnetic field.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
