Лучшая цитата из Electric Charge and the Unified Force: Understanding Electromagnetism
Electricity and magnetism are just two different ways of looking at the exact same thing—electromagnetism. It’s a unified theory that’s been shaping the universe since the Big Bang.

The unified theory of electromagnetism suggests that electricity and magnetism are not separate chapters of physics but are actually two different ways of looking at the exact same thing. This approach moves away from traditional disconnected lessons, like mechanics or circuits, to show how these forces have been a single, fundamental interaction of nature since the Big Bang.
In introductory physics, mass is understood as the primary source of gravity. Similarly, electric charge serves as the fundamental source for electromagnetic interactions. While mass governed the movement of objects in mechanics, electric charge is the essential starting point for understanding how the unified force of electromagnetism shapes the universe and powers everything from lightning to neon lights.
Electromagnetism is a fundamental interaction of nature rather than a human invention. While humans have harnessed it to make lightbulbs work, the same underlying physics is responsible for massive thunderstorms on Jupiter and the behavior of the universe since its earliest moments. It represents a core physical reality that exists independently of the technology we create to utilize it.
