An electromagnetic pulse is a short surge of electromagnetic energy. Its short duration means that it will be spread over a range of frequencies. Pulses are typically characterized by: The mode of energy transfer (radiated, electric, magnetic or conducted). The range or spectrum of frequencies present. Pulse waveform: shape, duration and amplitude.

A nuclear electromagnetic pulse (nuclear EMP or NEMP) is a burst of electromagnetic radiation created by a nuclear explosion. The resulting rapidly varying electric and magnetic fields may couple with electrical and electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges .

電磁脈衝 （英文： Electromagnetic Pulse，縮寫： EMP）是一種物理現象，有以下兩種意思： 由爆炸（特别是 核爆炸）、閃電、 太陽黑子 、導管效應或者電器火花等狀況下產生的 电磁辐射 、或者由于 康普顿散射 或光子散射产生與光电子产生的剧烈变化的交变电磁场，作用于电子材料、爆破设备或周围媒介的电磁冲击波，即为電磁脈衝。 核爆所產生之 γ射線 會以光速由爆點向四周輻射，和空氣中的氧、氮原子相撞擊，而產生帶負電之電子，產生極強之電磁場（俗稱電磁脈衝） …

2014年11月5日 · Induced currents range into the thousands of amperes and exposed systems may be upset or permanently damaged. The second “slow-pulse” phenomenon, is referred to as magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) EMP, or E3, and is caused by the distortion of Earth’s magnetic field lines due to the expanding nuclear fireball and the rising of heated, ionized ...

2023年11月15日 · Get the essential information you need to prepare for a nuclear or solar EMP. Learn what an electromagnetic pulse is and how it affects you.

The electromagnetic pulse is critical because of its unique properties and effects: 1. It does not affect people, just equipment; in particular command, control, and communica¬ tions CC3) equipment and electrical and electronics systems. 2. The EMP's large "killing" range — hundreds of kilometers from a high altitude nuclear

The electron current pulse initiates oscillations in the ionized air and energy is emitted as a short pulse of electromagnetic radiation. The EMP covers a wide range of frequencies and wave amplitudes, but much of the energy is in the low-frequency radio range.

nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP), a time-varying electromagnetic radiation resulting from a nuclear explosion. For a high-yield explosion of approximately 10 megatons detonated 320 km (200 miles) above the centre of the continental United States, almost the entire country, as well as parts of Mexico and Canada, would be affected by EMP ...

Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) is an intense pulse or surge of long wavelength radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation produced when an explosion occurs near the earth’s surface or at high altitudes

An EMP is an intense and instantaneous energy field that can remotely overload or interrupt many high-tech electrical systems and microcircuits, which are particularly sensitive to voltage surges. It comes in three phases: E1, E2, and E3.
