The what of an electromagnet is determined by the direction of current flow?
The electromagnet (polarity) is determined by the direction of current.
The polarity of an electromagnet is determined by what?
the direction of the flow of current
What determines the magnetic polarity of an electromagnet?
Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB or NIB) would be the stongest material of an magnet.(Is the tempature which for this material is 12,800 . Hc is the lenth of the material which is 12,300. BHmax is the strenth which is for this material 40 . The other strenth for other materials are 26, 5.5,3.5 . The highest was 40
What happens if the current of an electromagnet is changed?
The field strength of an electromagnet (and the shape of that field) will largely be determined by the physical characteristics and geometry of the coil (wire size, number of turns, spacing of turns, diameter of coil, etc.), the current flow through the coil's wire and the material and shape of the core. The most variable aspect of the electromagnet is the current we run through it. Once the electromagnet is designed and constructed, the limits are "built in" and about all we can vary is current. Use the link to the GSU Hyperphysics site and it's diagram of an electromagnet. (Be sure to scroll down a bit.) Also, look around on that site, if you have time. There is a lot of good basic physics there. The explanations are very reader friendly and the diagrams are pretty good, too.
Explain welder polarity?
Welder polarity has to do with DC (Direct Current) welders. Essentially, polarity is the direction of the current. Straight polarity means that the current is running from the electrode, to the metal, and back through the grounding clamp. Reverse polarity means that the current is going the opposite way, from the grounding clamp, through the metal, and up through the electrode.

What happens when you reverse the current in a current-carrying magnetic field?
The polarity of the electromagnet reverses.
How are the plus and minus voltage signs determined for resistors?
Resistors have no polarity. The voltage across a resistor is determined by the direction of current flowing through that resistor (and vice versa).
What would happen to electronics magnets etc if the earths magnetic poles changed?
Nothing - The polarity of an electromagnet depends on the direction of current flow and you can effect the same change in orientation to the earth's field by moving the electromagnet rather than the earth's field.
How can the polarity of an electromagnet be determined if the direction of the current is known?
Current flow is from positive to negative. Use the left hand rule for finding the north and south poles. Grab the coil in your left hand, with your fingers wrapped around the coil in the direction of the current flow. Your thumb will then point toward the north pole of the coil. Reverse the positive - negative connections to the coil and the north - south poles will change ends. The left hand rule will still be in effect as the current will now be flowing in the reverse direction as it was in the first connection.

When charges continually shift from one direction to flowing in the other direction what current?
Polarity
Does a diode have polarity?
Yes, a diode inherently has polarity, as current is only allowed to flow one direction.
