Is there a magnetic field around current carrying conductors?

yes.magnetic field present around the conductor.current and magnetic fields are inter related..with current we can produce magnetic field and vice versa


What form around a wire carrying an electric current?

Electromagnetic fields form around any current carrying conductor.


Will magnetic field is produced when current is passed through a thick conducting sheet?

Yes,,,a current carrying conductor wil produce magnetic field around it.


How will you describe the magnetic field around a straight current-carrying wire?

the magnetic field gets stronger with increasing distance from the wire


What statements describes the result of reversing the current in a current-carrying in a magnetic field?

When the current is reverted, the magnetic field will also be reverted.


When is the force experienced by current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field strongest?

The force experienced by a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is strongest when that conductor is placed perpendicularly to the magnetic field.


Why does the current carrying conductor experiences a force when it is placed in magnetic field state Fleming's left hand rule?

The force on current carrying conductor kept in a magnetic field is given by the expression F = B I L sin@ So the force becomes zero when the current carrying conductor is kept parallel to the magnetic field direction and becomes maximum when the current direction is normal to the magnetic field direction. Ok now why does a force exist on the current carrying conductor? As current flows through a conductor magnetic lines are formed aroung the conductor. This magnetic field gets interaction with the external field and so a force comes into the scene.


What is the cause of a magnetic field about a current-carrying wire?

The cause is the current.


What does a current carrying conductor produce?

-- heat (if it isn't a superconductor) -- a magnetic field in the space around the wire


If a conductor carrying an alternating current is formed into a coil the magnetic field that is generated?

If the current is alternating, the magnetic field will also be alternating.


What is a coil of wire that when carrying a electric current produces a magnetic field?

No field
