  In order to study the response of the quantum chromodynamic matter to finite
electromagnetic fields, we utilize the Polyakov linear - sigma model (PLSM) in
mean-field approximation. Due to participants' momentum imbalance and
off-center relativistic motion of the spectators' electric charges, localized,
short-lived, huge electromagnetic fields are to be generated in the
relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We report on various electromagnetic and
transport properties of the new-state-of matter; the quark-gluon plasma (QGP)
within the QCD-like approach, PLSM. We find an excellent agreement between our
PLSM calculations and various recent lattice QCD simulations and notice that
the magnetization and the magnetic susceptibility and the relative permeability
obviously increase in the QGP phase. We predict that increasing the magnetic
field remarkable decreases the viscosity, especially in hadron phase. while in
QGP phase, the viscous properties seem not being affected with.
