Kelly wants to start a science club that investigates the interactions between electrical energy and magnetism. What is the main process that this club will investigate?
A
electromagnetism
B
electric charge
C
electronic devices
D
electrical safety
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Starting about a decade after Oersted’s discovery, Michael Faraday demonstrated essentially the opposite of what Oersted had found–that a changing magnetic field induces an electric current. Following Faraday’s work, James Clerk Maxwell developed Maxwell’s equations, formally unifying electricity and magnetism.

Detailed explanation-3: -In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted performed an important experiment which showed that there was a connection between electricity and magnetism.

Detailed explanation-4: -In 1820, a Danish physicist, Hans Christian Oersted, discovered that there was a relationship between electricity and magnetism. By setting up a compass through a wire carrying an electric current, Oersted showed that moving electrons can create a magnetic field.
