Who discovered a magnetic field can produce an electric current?

Michael Faraday discovered that a changing magnetic field can induce an electric current in a wire, which is known as electromagnetic induction. This discovery laid the foundation for the development of electric generators and transformers.


How do electric generators produce a current?

they produce a current the magnetic field has to turn motion into that current. the gas coal or water pass on that current to the magnetic field.


Under what circumstances can an electrical charges produce a magnetic field?

Faraday discovered that wire carrying a current, electrons, has an electromagnetic field around it.


British scientist who discovered that changing magnetic field can produce an electric current?

Michael Faraday, investigating further the earlier discovery of electromagnetism by Dr. Hans Christian Oersted (of Denmark).


How can an electric current produce a magnetic field and what is the relationship between the two phenomena?

An electric current produces a magnetic field because moving electric charges create a magnetic field around them. This relationship is described by the right-hand rule, which shows the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying wire. The magnetic field and electric current are interconnected through electromagnetism, as discovered by physicist Hans Christian Oersted in 1820.


Why does a current carrying wire produce no magnetic field?

A current-carrying wire does produce a magnetic field around it according to Ampere's law, which states that a current generates a magnetic field. This phenomenon is the basis for the operation of electromagnets and the magnetic field produced is directly proportional the current flowing through the wire.


Does a wire with no current have a magnetic field?

Yes, a wire with no current flowing through it does not produce a magnetic field. Current flow is required to generate a magnetic field around a wire.


What force do electromagnets produce?

Electromagnets produce a magnetic force when an electric current passes through them. This force is the result of the interaction between the magnetic field generated by the current and any nearby magnetic materials or other electromagnets.


Can moving electrons through a magnetic field can produce an electric current?

Yes, a moving electron in a magnetic field can induce an electric current. This is the principle behind electromagnetic induction, where a changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a conductor.


Can electricity easily produce a magnetic field?

Yes, electricity can easily produce a magnetic field by running current through a conductor. The magnetic field strength is directly proportional to the amount of current flowing through the conductor.


Can direct current produce magnetic flux?

Moving electrons always have a magnetic field around them
