A flow of electric current creates a surrounding swath of magnetic flux. This flux will mingle with and surround the current flow. If the current is bent by say winding a wire in the form of a coil, the flux will shape itself around the coil. The strength of the flux will vary with the current. Reversing the current reverses the flux direction.

When a wire carries an electric current it products a?
It produces a magnetic field. Vice versa, when you run a magnet past a wire you generate an electric current. Electricity and magnetism are related. If you have electricity you can generate magnetism, if you have a magnet you can produce electricity.
How can electricity be used to generate magnetism?
Any time an electrical current flows, it will automatically be surrounded by a magnetic field.

What is the difference between magnetism and electricity?
The difference between electricity and magnetism is that you must be in the same frame of reference as the electric field to experience electricity, because all that magnetism is, is electricity moving relative to you.Although they are two different forms of energy, you can use magnetism to create electricity and you can use magnetism to create electricity.Electricity is the flow of energy or current through a metallic substance. Magnetism is the attraction of the metallic molecules in a solid or substance.

How do electricity and magnetism produce movement?
Well, electricity and magnetism are not the same. Electricity is the movement of free electrons in a material, while magnetism is a field in space that has direction and magnitude. In fact, you can create electricity with magnetism and motion. and you can make magnetism with electricity and motion. And for your knowledge you can create motion with electricity and magnetism. It is a law of nature, like gravity.
What is magnetism closely related to?
Electricity, magnetism and electricity are two aspects of a single force known as electromagnetism.

What is electromagnetic physics?
The study of electricity and magnetism. In physics, electricity and magnetism are one of a kind, that's why we shorten it to electromagnetism.
What are the two application of magnetism?
Two different applications of magnetism are: 1. Construction of a Compass. The indicator needle must be magnetized. 2. Generation of electricity. Conductors must pass through a magnetic field in order to generate a current in the wires.
