"This is the cause of thunder..."
It took Anthony quite a while to regain his senses. He murmured softly, then suddenly realized the similarity between the repulsion and attraction of positive and negative charges and the properties possessed by magnets.
"So, electricity is magnetism, and magnetism is electricity?" Anthony exclaid as if he had discovered a new continent, incredibly excited.
He felt he had glimpsed the mystery of thunder and magnetic fields.
"You could say that. Electricity and magnetism are inseparable, interdependent facets, much like water and ice..." Lynn nodded.
Anthony, initially excited, then beca perplexed. Since both are interconnected, why do they manifest in two different forms?
Nurous questions flashed through his mind, and Anthony impatiently looked to Lynn, awaiting an explanation.
"To understand this, one must first comprehend what a magnetic field is!" Lynn explained with a smile. "According to the scholars of the Society of Mystical Arts, it's a special form of substance surrounding magnets, electric currents, and moving charges in space. It's a vector field, possessing direction and nurical value at any point in space..."
"For example, the planet beneath our feet is a vast magnetic field!" Lynn extended his right hand, snapping his fingers, revealing a colossal azure sphere in front of Anthony.
Due to limited knowledge of the entire continent, most regions were covered by thick clouds.
However, that wasn't the focus. After Lynn's words, countless substantial lines of magnetic force extended from the north and south poles, tracing graceful arcs, like a massive net enveloping the entire planet's center.
Anthony gazed at the enormous celestial body below, too stunned to articulate words. At this mont, he was unconcerned about why the continent was a sphere; he was astonished and asked in disbelief, "So, the continent under our feet is a gigantic magnet? Hence, everything is attracted to the surface?"
Anthony imdiately recalled Ebur ntioning the elental theory of charge. Wouldn't this perfectly explain the phenonon of "things falling toward the surface"?
"No, that's actually due to the planet's gravity," Lynn said with a wry smile. "But in so aspects, magnetism and gravity do indeed share similarities..."
Using the massive planet as a blueprint, Lynn began explaining the mysteries of electricity and magnetism to Anthony, from magnetic field lines and magnetization to electromagnetic induction, and the mutual influence and conversion of electric and magnetic fields.
As fundantal constituents of the universe, the electromagnetic phenona involving the quantum field might take days or nights to fully expound.
Everything from sound, electricity, magnetism, light, color, heat transfer, thermal radiation, chemical reactions, and even the formation of life ultimately derives from electromagnetic force!
Exploring any one of these fields exhaustively throughout one's life might not guarantee complete comprehension.
This was why Lynn didn't cling stubbornly to this knowledge, independently developing related magic. After all, it was the crystallization of millennia of human wisdom. To integrate and deduce it to higher levels alongside magic was akin to wishful thinking.
The majority of Lynn's explanations pertained to macroscopic electromagnetic phenona, yet hadn't delved into the deeper, more profound electromagnetic quantum theory. However, for Anthony, it was already imnsely astounding.
Initially, Anthony believed his understanding of thunder was deep enough, except for the crucial cause. However, after Lynn's explanation, he realized how shallow his knowledge truly was!
Electrons, charges, alternating current, direct current... constant magnetic fields, alternating magnetic fields, pulsating magnetic fields...
This influx of concepts and terms rushed into his mind, leaving Anthony feeling inadequate about his years of research.
Despite creating potent thunder magic, discovering the phenonon of electricity generating magnetism, and even inventing runic symbols to manipulate electromagnetism, his understanding of lightning was superficial.
"Lord Lynn, I wonder whose research or findings these theories stem from in the realm of electromagnetics?" Anthony asked, genuinely curious.
"The developnt of electromagnetics isn't the work of one or two individuals but the collective research of many scholars within the Society of Mystical Arts," Lynn explained.
"For instance, there's Faraday, who discovered electromagnetic induction, Ampère, who determined the direction of magnetic lines, and Maxwell, who utilized oil-drop experints to asure electron charge, among others..."
These stories of the pioneers, altered by Lynn to align with wizardly identity, captivated Anthony, making him yearn to join them, delving into the mysteries of electromagnetism alongside these masters.
However, what surprised him was Lynn's omission of his contributions. Despite his profound understanding of electromagnetic studies and developnt, he didn't ntion his own role.
This was clearly abnormal. The theories and principles of magic were imnsely valuable. No one would willingly impart all their research unless it was through master-apprentice inheritance, academic exchanges among equals, or for so ulterior motive.
For example, while Lynn had just expounded nurous electromagnetic theories and phenona, he avoided discussing critical points, speaking quite vaguely...
Anthony could discern these as hooks. However, his thirst for knowledge had overridden his caution. Even if it was poison wrapped in candy, he wanted to taste the sweetness first.
After Lynn spoke at length, stirring Anthony's emotions, he brought out his trump card!
"There are many theories describing electromagnetic principles, but they can all be sumd up in this set of equations!" As Lynn's words fell, brilliant points of light sparkled in the void, gradually converging to form four mathematical equations composed of letters and symbols.
These were: Gauss's law for how charges produce electric fields, Gauss's law for no magnetic monopoles, Maxwell-Ampère's law for how current and changing electric fields produce magnetic fields, and Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction describing how changing magnetic fields produce electric fields.
These equations encompassed everything, nearly perfectly unifying electricity and magnetism, predicting that light is an electromagnetic wave, constructing the foundation of electromagnetism!
