A system or theory based on electrodynamic principles; the broader scientific worldview that explains phenomena through electromagnetic forces and energy.
From electrodynamic + -ism (a system or doctrine). This term emerged in early-to-mid 19th century physics when scientists developed comprehensive theories unifying electricity and magnetism.
Electrodynamism represented a paradigm shift—before it, people thought electricity and magnetism were completely separate. Showing they were actually two aspects of one force revolutionized physics and technology.
