Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Electromagnetism is defined as:
A
the interaction between gravity and magnetism
B
the interaction between electricity and magnetism
C
the interaction between gravity and solar power
D
the interaction between any non-contact forces
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The electromagnetic force is a type of physical interaction that occurs between electrically charged particles. It acts between charged particles and is the combination of all magnetic and electrical forces. The electromagnetic force can be attractive or repulsive.

Detailed explanation-2: -3) Electricity and magnetism are essentially two aspects of the same thing, because a changing electric field creates a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field creates an electric field. (This is why physicists usually refer to “electromagnetism” or “electromagnetic” forces together, rather than separately.)

Detailed explanation-3: -Electricity and magnetism are closely related. Flowing electrons produce a magnetic field, and spinning magnets cause an electric current to flow. Electromagnetism is the interaction of these two important forces.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oersted made the discovery for which he is famous in 1820. At the time, although most scientists thought electricity and magnetism were not related, there were some reasons to think there might be a connection. For instance, it had long been known that a compass, when struck by lightning, could reverse polarity.
