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

It’s a pulse of magnetism. This induces currents in wires it moves past, using the dynamo effect. These currents are not what the circuit is designed for, and high currents can easily harm delicate electronics.
