Electric Multiple Units Of Japan
Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations. Various common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others. The presence of an electric charge, which can be either positive or negative, produces an electric field. The movement of electric charges is an electric current and produces a magnetic field. When a charge is placed in a location with a non-zero electric field, a force will act on it. The magnitude of this force is given by Coulomb's law. If the charge moves, the electric field would be doing work on the electric charge. Thus we can speak of electric potential at a certain point in space, which is equal to the work done by an external agent in carrying a u ...

From 1 October 1968, the train was routed via the more direct Tōhoku Main Line using 583 series electric multiple units. From 15 November 1982, with the opening of the Tōhoku Shinkansen to , the ''Hatsukari'' service was truncated to operate between Morioka and Aomori. This was extended to operate to in Hokkaido from 13 March 1988, following the opening of the undersea Seikan Tunnel. The maximum speed was raised to through the Seikan Tunnel from 16 March 1991.
