The copper by itself will do nothing of the sort. It will be surrounded by magnetic field lines if a current flows through it. It is the current that produces the magnetic field lines.

Would electromagnetic waves exist if changing magnetic fields could produce electric fields but chaning electric fields could not in turn produce magnetic fields?

no


Could separate iron filings from copper sulphate and copper oxide with a magnet?

Yes, a magnet would remove the iron filings without attracting the copper salts, copper salts are not magnetic.


What are the three use of copper?

Copper coins (though are more an alloy than pure copper nowadays), copper pipes in plumbing, copper plus tin and other metals to produce bronze. There is also the copper used to produce electrical wiring. There is even aluminium wires clad (coated) in a thin layer of copper for electrical use. The list could go on...!


What observable physical property could you use to tell the difference between copper and iron?

color. ability to conduct electricity. Magnetic, or not?


Can magnets attract a copper wire?

No, copper is not magnetic. That said, if the copper wire has an electric current flowing through it then it will generate its own magnetic field around the wire. It seems feasible that this could be enough to move the wire if you have another magnet near it.


What best explains this reaction Cu2S plus O2 equals 2Cu plus SO2?

Copper sulfide reacts with exces oxygen to produce copper and sulfur dioxide. This could be in the industrial production of copper from copper ores.


How could you produce a magnetic field using a wire?

Any time an electric current passes through a wire, this will produce a magnetic field. If you want to make the field stronger, loop the wire into coils. The more coils you make, the stronger the field will be.


Why are new pennies magnetic but old one not?

What country are you talking about? New U.S. cents are not magnetic; they're made of copper-plated zinc. The only magnetic U.S. cents were the steel ones minted during 1943 so copper could be used in ammunition. New Canadian cents and British pennies are magnetic because they're made of copper-plated steel. The price of copper went up so much that it cost more than a penny to mint the coins, so the governments were losing money on each one. They switched to steel as a cheaper alternative.


Does carbonate produce copper oxide when heated?

Carbonate by itself is an ion that does not contain copper and therefore could not produce copper if heated. However, because carbonate is a negatively charged ion, no substantial number of carbonate ions can exist stably except in association with an equal number of positively charged cations to neutralize the electrical charge of the carbonate ions. If these cations are cations of copper, then copper oxide can be produced by heating the copper carbonate salt.


Where could one purchase a magnetic bracelet?

There are many different types of magnetic necklaces and many places online to purchase them. Ace Magnetic, Amazon, Magnetic Jewelry and Magnetic Necklaces are all websites which sell magnetic necklaces.


Is there a material that will stop a magnetic pull but is not magnetic itself and will stop a computer phone or TV from breaking if a magnet is brought near it?

I don't believe there is.Ferromagnetic materials concentrate magnetic fields within themselves, but they are, as you might have guessed from the name, magnetic.A Faraday cage can be nonmagnetic (you could make it out of, say, copper) and will keep out electromagnetic radiation, but does nothing against a static magnetic field.


As the magma would harden when it hits the water they could get a magnetic reading of the crust. What could they determine from this magnetic reading?

The direction of the Earth's magnetic field.
