How are electric currents and magnetism related?
Magnetism could be produced due to the flow of electrical current. This was first discovered by Oersted. By changing the magnetic flux linked with a coil electric current could be induced. This was first studied by Michael Faraday. Just due to the orbital motion or spin motion of electron magnetism is produced in tiny form and is known as magnetic dipoles. Such dipoles getting oriented in different form lead to form dia, para and ferro magnetic materials.
Can an electric current produce a field magnetism around it?
yes. electric current low always generates a magnetic field.
How did Oersted discover the relationship between an electricity and magnetism?
He used an electric current to affect the needle of a compass.
How do you show that electric current causes magnetism?
Put a wire carrying an electric current near a compass and it causes the needle to deflect.
What is magnetism produced by?
Magnetism is produced by the alignment and movement of electric charges, specifically electrons, within a material. In some materials, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, the alignment of these charges creates a net magnetic field that can attract or repel other magnetic materials.
How can you develop a magnet?
Electric current in a coil can induce magnetism in an iron nail,place near the coil.when the electric current is cut off the magnetism in the iron nail disappears.the magnetism in the nail exist so long as there is electric current in the coil.this is an electromagnet.

What will increasing the electric current to an electromagnet do to its magnetism?
An increasing electric current moving into an electromagnet will become stronger in its magnetism. As the atoms align the increasing magnetism will stop at one point, making the electromagnet as strong as it can be.
Can an electric current produce a field magnetism around it?
yes. electric current low always generates a magnetic field.
The relationship between magnetism and electric current was discovered by?
Michael Faraday
What are two ways that electric charage can be produced?
1. By friction. 2. by magnetism
Magnetism and an electric current are related because?
they both produce a magnetic field :)
What role do electrons play in magnetism?
Magnetism is produced through electric currents. In the case of a permanent magnet, it is the electrons circling around the atomic nucleus that produces the magnetism (more atoms have one orientation than the opposite orientation).Magnetism is produced through electric currents.

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.
Can Magnetism cause an electric current to flow in a conductor?
Yes, a MOVING magnetic field will cause electric current to flow in a conductor. Conversely an electric current flowing in a conductor will cause a magnetic field.
