UNIFICATION OF ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM The unification of electricity and magnetism refers to the realization that electric and magnetic phenomena are different aspects of the same underlying electromagnetic force. This unification was first described by James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century and is considered one of the cornerstones of classical physics. Maxwell's equations, which describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields, show that a changing electric field produces a magnetic field, and that a changing magnetic field in turn produces an electric field. This means that electric and magnetic phenomena are intimately linked and cannot be understood in isolation from each other. The unification of electricity and magnetism has far-reaching consequences and has played a key role in the development of many areas of physics, including electromagnetism, optics, and quantum mechanics. It has also had a profound impact on our daily lives, leading to technological advances
