I'm no expert, so I'll try to give you a vague description.
As the metal string on an Electric Guitar vibrates they act on the magnetic field of the pickups. (I'm not sure if you've done experiments in physics class before where you move a magnet through a metal cylinder, this causes an electrical charge to be produced, almost the same principle with pickups)
The electric signal then travels through the wiring and into the amplifier, which "amplifies" the electric signal.
A somewhat vague description but pretty much the basics of it.
electromagnets are used located in the pickups of an electric guitar. (tiny bars under the strings) these capture the strings' vibrations and turn the minto an electrical sugnal which then travels to the amplifier.
For most of the commercial models, the field is created with either a permanent magnet or alternating current through a wound coil (or combination thereof). The field is modulated by the metal in the vibrating guitar strings, and this modulation is the signal that is amplified to make the sound. A good article on pickups is in the link below.
Electric Guitars don't have electromagnets, they have induction coils. They're more or less the same, but work in reverse. Electromagnets send current through a wire to make a piece of metal a magnet, while the induction coil takes the kinetic energy from the moving string, and turns it into a weak electric signal.
The electric signal produced is what the amplifier detects and amplifies into the sound you hear coming from the speakers.
Have a look at the term - Pickup - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickup_(music)
why dont you
An electric guitar
The difference between an electric guitar and an air guitar is a electric guitar is an actual guitar and an air guitar is imaginary. An air guitar is when people pretend to play a guitar with hand movements. An electric guitar converts vibrations of its steelcorded strings into electric current. These currents then go to a amplifier to make them louder.
It should work but using pitch pipes is easier
Yes. The first electric guitar was on the market in 1932, the first electric bass guitar was on the market in 1935.
you can't because the neck of the bass guitar is to long for an electric guitar case.
the pickups on an electric guitar are just magnets. they pickup the vibrations of the strings to make the sound. depending on the position and the magnets, the guitar will get different sounds.
An electric guitar uses magnets to create sound waves. The strings of the guitar vibrate over a magnetic pickup, which converts these vibrations into electric signals. These signals are then amplified and produce sound through speakers.
it is a guitar that uses electricity to make the amplifier work, si they decided to call it the "electric guitar"
it depends on the type of guitar you got bass or electric, any amp will work for electric guitar but not all amps work with electric bass.
cool
No they won't work acoustically.
wear only the guitar and dance
Yes, magnets would still work in the absence of gravity. The force generated by magnets, known as the magnetic force, would still attract or repel objects based on their polarity, regardless of the presence of gravity.
yes
The Law of Electric Charge states that like charges repel and opposite charges attract. In an electric motor, this law is crucial for the operation of the motor. By applying electric currents to create magnetic fields, the motor uses the interaction of opposite charges to generate force and produce motion.
Magnets are (literally) the core of guitar pickups.
Hm.. they should.. but im not so sure. my sisters electric guitar amp works with my violin.
