Chapter 228: Electromagnetic Effect
"No, this has nothing to do with magic, and it can't be described as conduction," Lynn shook her head, dismissing Orlando's speculation.
"In fact, you're mistaken. It's not just iron that can be magnetized; cobalt and nickel can be attracted by magnets as well."
"The commonality lies in their ability to be magnetized. Under the influence of an external magnetic field, the electrons within them spontaneously align within a small range, forming a spontaneous magnetization zone... In other words, they're temporarily magnetized, becoming like magnets! Most substances have electrons moving in various directions, chaotic and disorganized, canceling out the magnetic effect, hence they don't exhibit magnetism," Lynn explained casually.New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
"Wait, are you suggesting that because these magnets possess the power of thunder, they're able to attract iron objects?" Ebur hurriedly asked, not having grasped Lynn's long explanation but catching onto the word 'electrons'.
Plus, he knew iron could conduct electricity!
"What do you think electricity is?" Lynn asked.
"A violent, hard-to-control element, extremely fast, and possessing astonishing power," Orlando pondered before speaking.
Ebur nodded arrogantly. Even within Archbishop Anluke's school, only a few wizards could wield the power of lightning, a power obtained at the risk of their lives.
"Is that all? Nothing more to add?" Lynn asked with a smile.
"I know! Lightning is a phenomenon caused by the movement of charges, divided into positive and negative charges. Similar charges repel each other, opposite charges attract. Moreover, it exists within each of us, which is why we can move..." Lydia spoke endlessly about the principles of electricity.
The wizards present wore expressions of astonishment; they hadn't expected this halfling girl, who couldn't wield magic, to have such a deep understanding of lightning. Orlando, particularly curious, inquired about the nature of electrons and charges.
Under Orlando's questioning, Lydia grew increasingly red-faced, unable to stutter out an answer.
She simply recited all the knowledge Lynn had previously taught her; asking her to explain these terms was impossible, resorting to frequent glances toward Lynn, her eyes pleading for help.
"Since you've only learned a bit, there's no need to show off," Lynn chuckled, shaking her head and lightly tapping Lydia's head.
"The scholars of the Society of Mystical Arts believe that electrons are subatomic particles carrying negative charges, and charges are positive or negative charges carried by objects or the particles composing them. However, because electrons are so minuscule, even formal wizards cannot sense them."
"I was right, wasn't I, Lord Ebur?" Lynn suddenly spoke up.
Seeing Ebur nod, Lynn understood that their faction couldn't sense electrons and charges.
Orlando, who had been waiting beside, promptly started the engine. The coils made of silver threads began to rotate, faster and faster...
Everyone present stared fixedly at this strange apparatus.
"Dean Lynn, where's the electricity? Where is it?" Lydia curiously asked.
"It's within these silver coils!" Lynn said, leaning down and blowing on the accumulated dust on the table, which immediately flew towards the continuously rotating magnetic coils.
A crackling sound emanated from the rotating coils.
It was a sight they'd never seen before; the violent lightning seemed confined within the magnetic coils, blue arcs continuously jumping, striking the fine dust... Just as Lynn had said, she had created electricity!
"This is impossible!" Ebur's face was full of disbelief. He couldn't resist reaching out, wanting to confirm if the scene before him was some kind of visual illusion.
This sudden action caught everyone off guard. Lynn couldn't stop him in time, and Ebur's fingers had already entered the two arced magnets, not fully touching the rotating magnetic coils, yet the flickering electric arcs had already struck.
A powerful current instantly penetrated his body, causing every muscle to convulse violently. Before completely losing consciousness, only one thought remained in his mind.
Yes, this feeling!
It's electricity, the power of lightning!
