Could a magnetic field be electrons flowing through power lines?

A magnetic field is caused by flowing currents, but the field lines are not directly related to the flow of electrons or other charged particles. They are simply an abstraction that tells you where the magnetic attraction is strongest, and in what direction it goes.


Does the gravity affect the magnetic force lines by space distortion?

Magnetic lines of force follow space. If space is distorted by the presence of a large gravitational field, the magnetic lines will be distorted as well. Other than near black holes, this effect is negligible.


What is the list for the characteristics of a magnetic field produced by a current?

A magnetic field is a change in energy within a volume of space. A magnetograph can be created by placing a piece of paper over a magnet and sprinkling the paper with iron filings. The particles align themselves with the lines of magnetic force produced by the magnet. The magnetic lines of force show where the magnetic field exits the material at one pole and reenters the material at another pole along the length of the magnet. It should be noted that the magnetic lines of force exist in three dimensions but are only seen in two dimensions in the image.


Why can't electricity pass threw a magnetic field?

An electric current has no trouble at all passing through a magnetic field, however it is deflected. This is how the old CRT picture tubes that used to be used in TVs and computer monitors operated. In space electric currents deflected by magnetic fields actually follow helical paths along the lines of magnetic flux.


Why magnetic strength is high at poles?

The answer is complicated. The simple answer is because the electron spin is aligned in the same direction. In most objects electron spin is random. In magnets most electrons are aligned with each other, creating a magnetic field. This orchestrated movement causes the field to be strongest at the poles.

Magnetic field lines cross each other?

No, they don't.


Magnectic field lines of force will not go through?

Magnetic lines do not cross each other. it is natural phenomenon.AnswerMagnetic 'lines of force' do not actually exist. They simply represent a 'model' which is used to explain the behaviour of a magnetic field through the use of something we can easily understand. In this case, one of the conditions for this model to apply is that these imaginary lines of force cannot intersect.The lines do not cross because the field can not have two values at one point. There is a basic equation that says that the lines always form closed loops:div B = 0, one of Maxwell's equations describing a property of the magnetic flux density B.


What is the imaginary line that helps us visualise a electric or magnetic field called?

They are force field lines at right angles to each other as depicted in the related link.


Can electric field lines cross?

Lines of force don't exist. They can't cross each other because they aren't there. The common (related) demonstration of magnetic lines of force using iron filings works because of the fact that the iron filings become little magnets and line up head to tail. If you photograph them and re-run the experiment you will see that the lines are different, which shows that they are an "artifact" of the magnetic field. No actual lines exist.


What occurs to the magnetic field lines when the magnets have opposite poles facing each other?

The field lines are parallel and create an attractive force field.

How are magnetic field lines arranged?

Magnetic field lines spread out from one pole, curve around the magnet, and return to the other pole.. . ah, they don't actually spread out from the poles, inside the magnet they are bunched together but they still form closed loops with the lines outside.


What do field lines show that curve toward each other show?

It has No magnetic interaction


What can you use to show the magnetic field of a magnet for people to see?

Little bits of other magnet. Iron filings - the small pieces of metal will floow the magnetic field lines.

Do magnetic field lines come out both poles?

They start from one pole and terminate at the other end.


What do you mean by uniform and non uniform magnetic fields?

In a uniform magnetic field the imaginary magnetic lines of force are parallel to each other. But in case of non uniform they are not parallel
