electric and magnetic fieldsInvisible force fields that surround the movement of electricity. Everything electrical produces EMF.

electric and magnetic fieldsInvisible force fields produced by devices which generate, deliver or use electricity.

electric and magnetic fieldsEMF are invisible lines of force surrounding any electrical wire or device. They consist of two components — the electric field, which is the result of voltage, and the magnetic field, which is the result of current flow.

electric and magnetic fieldsInvisible force fields caused by the voltage and current around an electric wire or conductor in an electric system. Magnetic fields exist only when the current is flowing, that is, when the system is energized.

electric and magnetic fieldsThere are 2 kinds of fields associated with 60 Hz power created by electric charges. Electric fields result from their strength of the charge and magnetic fields result from the motion of the charge. Taken together they are often referred to as electromagnetic fields. There are electric and magnetic fields wherever there is electric power.

6 |
electric and magnetic fieldsFields that surround both large power lines that distribute power and the smaller electric lines in homes and appliances. Generated when charged particles (e.g., electrons) are accelerated. EMFs are typically generated by alternating current in electrical conductors. Also referred to as electromagnetic fields.

7 |
electric and magnetic fieldsRadiation surrounding power lines; present wherever electric power is being used.
