Ideas for practical application of electromagnetic field theory

Click For Summary
Suggestions for applications of electromagnetic field theory for a university presentation include speakers and microphones, which combine various electromagnetic principles. TEM electron microscopy is also proposed as a more advanced topic. The discussion emphasizes the need for unique ideas beyond common applications like cathode ray oscilloscopes and mass spectrometers. Participants are encouraged to explore innovative combinations of existing concepts. Overall, the focus is on finding engaging and educational topics suitable for a second-year physics course.

Hello,

I have to give a presentation on an application of electromagnetic field theory of my choosing, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions that might be more interesting than the ones that have been suggested.

It's for a 2nd year university level physics (E&M) course, so the application needs to be applicable to that sort of material / level of understanding.

The recommended ones(which will be done by many, many students) are as follows:

-Cathode ray oscilloscope
-Ink jet printer
-Electrostatic generator
-Electrostatic voltmeter
-Magnetic separator
-Magnetic deflection
-Cyclotron
-Mass spectrometer
-Hall effect
-magnetohydrodynamic generator
-electromagnetic pump
-dc motor

Anyone have any other ideas that maybe combine a few of these topics? I've been looking online but everything i find is either already covered in the list above or is too simple

Thanks!

I made a paper on mass spectrometry in an E&M class and I enjoyed writing about it, I thought it's a pretty clever process.

One thing that comes to mind that doesn't seem to be on that list is speakers/microphones.
 
TEM electron microscopy is another topic you might consider.
