Canon
Volume 1

In Chapter 8 "Players and Pieces", Jaune picks the white knight piece meaning that Pyrrha and Nora (as well as himself and Ren) will be placed on the same team. A short time later, they fight the deathstalker together with the rest of their team. During the fight, at Jaune's direction, Pyrrha uses her shield to cut off the deathstalkers stinger and then they do a combo attack where Nora lanches off Pyrrha's shield into the air and nails the stinger into the deathstalker. In Chapter 11 "Jaunedice", Nora offers to break Cardin's legs to stop Cardin from bullying Jaune and in the very next Chapter, "Jaunedice Part 2", Pyrrha repeats the offer. In an extra scene on the DVD version of "Forever Fall Part I", Nora eats the red tree sap right out of Pyrrha's jar, much to Pyrrha's irritation.

Volume 2

In the volume premiere, "Best Day Ever", Pyrrha and Nora both participate in the food fight between team RWBY and team JNPR, and are the two of their team still standing when Ruby lanches her final attack. In Chapter 6 "Burning the Candle", after Pyrrha encourages Jaune to go tell Weiss how he really feels about her and after he leaves, Nora softly tells the depressed Pyrrha that she should practice what she preaches. In Chapter 7 "Dance Dance Infiltration", Pyrrha and Nora participate in a team dance with Jaune and Ren.

Volume 3

In the volume premiere, "Round One", team RWBY meet up with team JNPR and Pyrrha buys them all a meal. After they eat, Nora lists the fact that Pyrrha is a world renowned fighter as a reason they are ready for their fight and when Nora panic and spirals, Pyrrha puts her hand on Nora's back to comfort her. In Chapter 2 "New Challengers", during team JNPR's tournament fight, May Zedong aims her shot at Nora, so Pyrrha jump off Jaune's shield into the air and uses her own shield to block May's shot. When the team stops in the middle of the fight to discuss team attack names, Nora teasingly points out that there was hesitation in Pyrrha's voice when she said the name for team her's and Jaune's team attack name (Arkos) was good.

Fanon
Electromagnetism is a rare pair in the RWBY fandom. It's typically more popular as part of the poly ship Juniper Berries. Otherwise it is more often ignored as both Arkos and ReNora completely eclipse it and most other ships involving the two in popularity. However, it's not without its fans and it did get more popular after they share more screen time together in volume 3. The ship has 73 works on AO3.
