What wire carries the electrical current to the appliance?

The black wire is the hot wire through which the electrical current flows to the appliance. The left over voltage which is usually zero flows back to the main circuit panel through the white neutral wire where it flows to ground.


What causes a magnetic field to be produced around a wire?

Current flows through a wire and produces a magnetic field.


Who discovered electromagnetic force?

Hans Orsted first discovered that when an electric current was run through a wire and put close to a compass, the needle moved toward it. Although, he had no idea what that meant. Michael Faraday, built on his work and found that when an electric current runs through a wire, a magnetic field is produced around the wire. He also found that an electric field is around a wire it produces an electric current. The direction of the current depends on which direction the field is going in. The faster you move the electric field the stronger the current.


What is a magnetic created when electric current flows through a coil of wire?

Nothing is ever created, however, Electricity is INDUCED. The process is interchangeable, so if you pass a current through the wire you have a magnetic field (electromagnetism)lol.-originalposter- When you pass a magnet through a coil of wire, you induce an electric current. Also, if you move the coil instead you get the same result.-norman

What does an electric current act like when it flows through a wire?

it depends on the frequency of the current in question. the higher the frequency, the less depth in the cross-section the current flows. this is termed skin depth.

Why does a light bulb filament get hot when electric current flows through it?

That is the result of resistance in the wire. In energy terms, some of the energy in the electric current is converted into heat.
