Is tantalum magnetic?

Tantalum itself is not magnetic (does not generate the magnetic field); however, it is a paramagnetic material...meaning it will react to a magnetic field. see Paramagnetic


Does your electricity comes from lightning in the sky?

No It Comes From The Magnetic Field In The Atmoshere


Where does the earths magnetic field originated from?

The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the the Earth's spin and the fact that it has molten iron in its core. When convecting molten metals spin they generate electric currents and with these a magnetic field.


What does an electrical wire moving through a magnetic field generate?

Do magnetic fields generate electric currents?

Not exactly. A CHANGING magnetic field, or a material moving through a magnetic field, will produce a VOLTAGE. This may or may not result in an actual current.


Can an electric current generate an electromagnetic wave?

Not a constant electric current but a changing one will generate electromagnetic waves.First: If you have a lone electron, and it is accelerated in any way, it will send off an electromagnetic wave. This is because a changing electric field generates a magnetic field.It is also true that changing magnetic field will generate an electric field. This is the reason that if you have an electric current, which is generating a magnetic field, and you change the current you generate an electromagnetic wave. To generate a continuous sinusoidal electromagnetic wave you continuously change the current sinusoidally.


What is the magnetic field due to the wire at the location of the electron?

The term "magnetic field" refers to the strength of magnetism surrounding electrical currents or magnetic matter. Electrons play a large part in the process of magnetism, as moving electrons will generate a magnetic field.
