How did Oersted discover the relationship between an electricity and magnetism?
He used an electric current to affect the needle of a compass.
Who is known for his research in electricity and magnetism?
Hans Christian Oersted. In 1820, he discovered that an electric current could affect a compass needle.
How does the living components of n ecosystem affect the non living components?
yes
What are the ocean currents that affect PEI?
the maritime current and the atlantic current :)
Hans oersted's discovery of magnetic affect of an electric current can be considered an event of?
Oersted's discovery was the beginning of Electromagnetism, and showed the motor effect. Oersted inspired Faraday and Maxwell to create the generator effect and the general theory of Electromagnetism.
Does an electric current affect weight?
No, an electric current does not affect weight.
Can an electric current be used to affect a compass needle?
Yes. Any electric current is surrounded by a magnetic field.
What affect current flow?
In DC circuits . . .-- Voltage of the supply-- Resistance of the loadIn AC circuits . . .-- Both of the above, plus-- Frequency of the supply-- Reactance of the load
How does the increase or decrease of potential difference affect the flow of the electric current?
Increase or decrease in potential results in the change in direction of the flow of electric current.
What are 3 factors which affect the magnitude of magnetic force on current-carrying conductors?
Electric current, magnetic field intensity, length of the conductor, angle between the electric current and magnetic field
How does connecting devices in parallel affect the electric current in a circuit?
it doesn't, the one with the highest resistance does
What do you mean by magnetic affect of electric?
The magnetic effect of electric current is known as electromagnetic effect. It is observed that when a compass is brought near a current carrying conductor the needle of compass gets deflected because of flow of electricity. This shows that electric current produces a magnetic effect.
Can a electric current affect a compass?
Yes. An electric current is surrounded by a magnetic field, and this will affect a compass. Please note that this is more noticeable in the case of DC - for AC, the current changes all the time, it changes very quickly, and the AVERAGE value of the magnetic field is zero.
The differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
In a series circuit, electrons flow through all the components one after another. If one fails (break), the whole circuit is no longer live. All the resistances are also added up in a series circuit. The current (measured in amps) is the same throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit, electrons flow through smaller circuits all coming from the same source. The amperage is different in each circuit based on the resistance offered. The one wire running to all the smaller circuits has higher current than any of the small offset circuits. Removing one thing will not affect the other smaller circuits as electrons can still flow. Current will be affected, of course.
Who discovered in 1820 that an electric current has a magnetic field?
In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) proved electric current can affect a compass needle. However,Oersted could not explain why.
How does magnets affect electricity?
Electricity affects magnetism because it can determine the direction of a current. A number of magnets are just iron bars with an electric current circulating around it.
How can electric current be changed in Omh's Law?
Ohm's Law: V = IR Solving for current: I = V/R To affect the current, you can either change the voltage (more voltage --> more current), or the resistance (more resistance --> less current).
