       There is no separating electricity of magnetism. Every electron has an
electric field. Every flow of electrons produces a magnetic field, every
changing magnetic field causes a flow of electrons, etc. A detailed explanation
of the interrelationship between electricity and magnetism was given by James
Clerk Maxwell ca 1870, and in every general physics text since then.
