Electromagnetization is the process of inducing magnetism in an object by applying an electrical current. There are numerous synonyms for electromagnetize, including magnetize, galvanize, activate, energize, excite, stimulate, and charge. These terms are often used interchangeably when discussing the process of creating a magnetic field through electric means. In scientific terminology, electromagnetization refers to the transformation of a non-magnetic material into a magnetized state. This transformation occurs when an electric current passes through the material, creating a magnetic force. No matter which synonym one chooses to use, the end result is the same: the creation of a magnetic field through electricity.
