Wrap insulated copper wire several times around an iron nail. Attach one end of the wire to the negative, and the other end to the positive terminals of a battery. The flow of electricity creates a magnetic field that attracts metal until the electricity is switched off.

Does ac current produce magnetic field?
Yes; any current produces a magnetic field, an AC current will produce an alternating magnetic field. If the current (and therefore the magnetic field) changes quickly, you may not be able to detect it with a compass needle, for example.
The area around an object that is affected by the magnetism of that object is the?
A Magnetic Force
Every moving charge can produce a field?
magnetic field
Can a changing magnetic field produce a steady electric field?
Not a steady but a moving electric field can be produced by ever changing magnetic field.
How can brain activation produce a magnetic field?
Any material that can conduct electricity can produce a magnetic field. The brain uses tinny amounts of electricity to move messages around itself so the brain produces a very small magnetic field that Medical Doctors using very sensitive equipment may be able to detect
Is there a magnetic field around current carrying conductors?
yes.magnetic field present around the conductor.current and magnetic fields are inter related..with current we can produce magnetic field and vice versa
Can direct current produce magnetic flux?
Moving electrons always have a magnetic field around them
What causes a magnetic field to be set up around a wire?
Passing an electric current through a wire will produce an external magnetic field. This is because the electrons have spin and this spin is what produces the field. Spinning electrons (of certain characteristics) also produce the magnetic field of permanent magnets. And no spinning electrons, no magnetic field.
Who made the conclusion electric current can produce a magnetic field?
Oersted around 1820.
Will magnetic field is produced when current is passed through a thick conducting sheet?
Yes,,,a current carrying conductor wil produce magnetic field around it.
Can a dc electric field produce magnetic field?
Yes. A steady current will produce a magnetic field, B= uI/r
Can an electric current produce a field magnetism around it?
yes. electric current low always generates a magnetic field.
Does ac current produce magnetic field?
Yes; any current produces a magnetic field, an AC current will produce an alternating magnetic field. If the current (and therefore the magnetic field) changes quickly, you may not be able to detect it with a compass needle, for example.
Where is the field around a magnet strongest?
Where is the magnetic field around a magnet strongest? Answer: A magnetic field is strongest around the poles. Your welcome! :)
What will a moving magnetic field produce?
I think it will produce electricity.
The area around an object that is affected by the magnetism of that object is the?
A Magnetic Force
Every moving charge can produce a field?
magnetic field
