How do EMP’s work?

Question

I am aware the an EMP is an Electro Magnet Pulse and that it disables electronics, but I am unaware how it messes with electronic objects.

Answer 1

Magnetism and electricity are closely related and a magnetic pulse can generate an electric current in a wire, the longer the wire the more electricity. So electricity flowing strongly through a wire can cause a device to fail. https://youtu.be/fMaAr9Febl8
