What most occur to produce electric current?
Chemical changes, change in magnetic flux linked with a conductor cause the production of electric current.
Does the magnetic field increase or decrease if the current is decreased?
An increase in an electrical current will cause magnetism to increase but a decrease in an electrical current will cause magnetism to decrease.
What is applied to a conductor to cause current flow?
voltage is applied to a conductor to cause a current flow
How was current produce or induced?
Current is induced and not produced. when an electric wire is passed through magnetic field the current is induced in the electric wire, this electric wire is enamelled copper conductor of a rotor.AnswerCurrent is never 'induced' into a conductor. It is a voltage that is induced. If that conductor is then part of a complete circuit, then the induced voltage will cause a current to flow. The induced voltage will occur even when the conductor is open circuited.
How does electricity cause magnetism?
Changing the amount of magnetic field (known as "flux") through a conductor exerts a force on charged particles (electrons in the wire). A change in magnetic field strength in a region of space induces an electric field which circles the magnetic field lines, surprisingly whether or not there is a conductor there or not. It turns out that magnetism and electricity are inherently linked, they are kind of manifestations of the same thing. If "something" has the property of electric charge, it creates an electric field. If that something moves, it creates a magnetic field.
In electric bell electric energy is converted into?
An electric doorbell uses electrical current thru a coil to move a metal bar using magnetism and cause it to strike a metal plate making a ring sound
Is electric current and current the same thing?
Not really. You can compare them with the analogy of water flowing through a pipe. For water to flow, there must be a pressure difference across the ends of the pipe. An electric current is a movement of electric charges along a conductor. For those charges to move, there must be a voltage (more accurately, a 'potential difference') across the ends of the conductor. So a potential difference is required to cause current to flow.
What makes an electric current?
An electric current is the movement of the conduction band electron "gas" in a conductor. This can be induced in various ways:Application of a voltage difference across the conductor.Having magnetic flux lines "cut through" the conductor, which will push the electron "gas" perpendicular to the plane the flux lines "cut".Connecting the conductor to 2 dissimilar metals and placing the metals in an electrolyte. Corrosion of one of the metals will cause current in the conductor.etc.
Why does Resistance decrease in thin wire?
Area of cross section: Resistance R is inversely proportional to the area of cross section ( A) of the conductor. This means R will decrease with increase in the area of conductor and vice versa. More area of conductor facilitates the flow of electric current through more area and thus decreases the resistance. This is the cause that thick copper wire creates less resistance to the electric current.
What is the ability of light to cause electron movement and electric current?
The photo-electric effect is the ability of light to cause the movement of electrons, which is called an electric current.
What is the cause of an electric current?
Electric currents are caused by voltages.
What particles create the electric current in a fruit battery?
An electric current is movement of electrons, no matter the source or cause.
