Only while the magnet is entering or leaving the loop. If you hold it still, no current is generated. The same goes for a longer magnet where the loop is being moved, but the magnet always remains inside the loop; no current.

Process of producing an electric current in a loop of wire by either moving a magnet through the loop or moving the loop through the magnet?

This process is known as Electromagnetic Induction first observed by Michael Faraday.


Electromagnetic Induction states that moving a magnet through a loop of wire creates what?

Electric current


Is the process of producing an electric current by moving a loop of wire through a magnetic field?

A current is induced in the conductor by the moving magnetic field (relative to the wire, the field is moving) I guess induction might be the term you are looking for.Another AnswerMoving a magnet through a loop of wire will induce a voltage, not a current, into a coil. If the coil forms a closed loop, then a current will result. But it's a voltage that's being induced, not a current -the current is merely the result of that voltage.


Magnetic field due to a current through a circular loop?

The magnetic field due to a constant current through a circular loop is the same shape, outside the loop, as the field due to a bar magnet. At the centre of the loop the field can be found, using the Biot-Savart Law, to be (Equation 1: URL in related links), where ?0 is the permeability of free space, I is the current through the loop, R is the radius of the loop and z-hat is a unit vector perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The field on the axis of the loop can be found, again using the Biot-Savart Law, to be (Equation 2: URL in related links), where z is the distance from the centre of the loop along its axis and all other symbols have the same meaning as in the previous equation.


If electrons behave like magnets then why aren't all atoms magnets?

Each electron in every atom is a tiny magnet because each electron is a charged particle, and it is in motion. Any moving charged particle will create a magnetic field around its path of travel. That makes every moving charged particle "vulnerable" to the effects of any magnetic field "across" or "through" its path of travel.

Why is the magnetic field strngth inside a current carrying loop of wire greater than a strraight section?

A looped wire would have a stronger magnetic field because a looped wire is closer to the magnet all the way aroud.

How to make magnetic power?

A note about terminology - magnetic energy is the energy stored in a magnetic field. I have never heard of magnetic power. However, I assume you are asking how to get electrical power from magnetic phenomena. The way this works is directly from maxwell's equations. Faraday's law says that the rate of change of flux through a loop (field through loop times area of loop) is proportional to the electric field around that loop, which is proportional to the current, if the loop is a conductor. The generator works by spinning a permanent magnet near a loop of wire. As the magnet spins, it induces current in the loop of wire, which can then be made to do useful work. A note about energy conservation: when the current in the loop is induced, it is always in such a way as to attract the spinning magnet, so the external agent has to do work to resist this.


When a magnet is pushed through a loop of wire what does it produces?

When the magnetic flux (field) intersecting a loop of wire changes, a voltage is induced between the ends of the loop. If a resistor is connected between the ends, a current flows and power is produced, but in this case a force is needed to move the magnet, and this provides the power.


What produces electricity by spinning a magnet in a coil of wire?

A generator or alternator. If the magnetic field is permanent, the current produced from the coil will be alternating current. AC. Alternators usually work the other way round. The magnet is spun inside a coil of wire. The power is taken off from the stator. The rotor is an electromagnet, fed via slip rings on the shaft. The strength of the magnet can be varied and controlled externally, to control the output voltage.


Is the production of an electric current by moving a magnet and a loop relative to each other called a magnetic domain?
