If you circulated copper wire to magnet and pass current through copper wire it then power of magnet is incrase?

The copper, technically, wouldn't increase it's power but rather extend the magnetic field of the magnet.


What happens to copper wire because of the moving magnet?

The copper wire carries an electric current.


What will be attracted to ( or repelled by) a magnet?

a copper wire carrying current and another magnet.


Will a copper wire not carrying a current be attracted to a magnet?

No, a copper wire that is not carrying a current will not be attracted to a magnet. Copper is not a magnetic material, so it does not interact with magnetic fields in the same way that magnetic materials like iron or nickel do.


How you can make a magnet?

An electromagnet can be made by wrapping a copper wire many times around an iron bar and applying a direct current to the wire.


How is electricity made from copper wire and a magnet?

Electricity is made when a magnet is spun round quickly inside a tube with a wire coil raped around the inside of the tube this is used in a electric power stations, dams ect.

What does copper wire and magnets have to do with Electricity?

Can a magnet be used to produce electricity?

A spinning magnet inside a coil of copper wire will produce electricity.


Can magnets attract a copper wire?

No, copper is not magnetic. That said, if the copper wire has an electric current flowing through it then it will generate its own magnetic field around the wire. It seems feasible that this could be enough to move the wire if you have another magnet near it.


What happens to a magnet when copper rubs aganist it?

It might leave a copper coloured streak across the magnet, but apart from that, nothing much. I think you are looking at what happens to a copper wire when it is moved in a magnetic field. In which case the answer is, a current is induced in the wire. (It does not have to touch)
