What is the relationship between magnetic force and distance?
-- A current flowing through a conductor creates a magnetic field around the conductor. -- Moving a conductor through a constant magnetic field creates a current in the conductor. -- If there's a conductor sitting motionless in a magnetic field, a current flows in the conductor whenever the strength or direction of the magnetic field changes.
Is magnetic field strength directly proportional to the coil or the current?
The strength of a magnetic field won't be directly proportional to the turns in the coil. It is more correct to say that field strength is directly proportional to current through the windings of the coil. There are some "limiting factors" that will not allow this to be a hard and fast rule, but it is essentially correct.AnswerMagnetic field strength (symbol: H) is defined as the magnetomotive force per unit length of a magnetic circuit. As magnetomotive force is the product of the current flowing through a winding and the number of turns, then, yes, magnetic field strength is proportional to both the current and the number of turns -but this is ONLY true over the straight part of the magnetisation curve (i.e. before it goes into saturation).
Can an electromagnets strength be changed?
The more electricity the more powerful the magnetic field. Increase the voltage, which for the given resistance of the coil, will also increase the current and the magnetic field.
Is the strength of an electromagnet measured in volts?
That's a tricky question. Well, technically it is not measured in volts. The strength of an electromagnet depends on the electrical current which flows through its wires, but not on what drives that current. The current is measured in the amount of charge per unit time that flows through the wires. But when it comes to measuring the magnet, you have to refer to the magnetic field. Without it, there wouldn't be any "magnet." So, logically, to measure the strength of the magnet you must first measure the strength of the magnetic field. It's strength is measured in Volts per meter(V/m). So to measure the strength of the electromagnet you must measure the strength of the magnetic field whose formula is found in the next to last sentence. Hope this helps.
What will increase the strength of the magnetic field around the wire?
The strength of a magnetic field produced by a current carrying wire increases proportionately with the current through the wire, and it dies off as the distance from the wire decreases. To increase the magnetic field around a coil you would either increase the current running through it (by increasing the voltage and/or using a less resistive wire), increase the number of windings, or wind the coil more tightly (bring the windings closer together). The latter solution doesn't increase the overall magnetic flux produced, but it does make the coil more compact so the flux "leaks" less.
How does the strength of the magnetic field around a wire change if the current in the wire is increased from 0.25 A to 1.75 A?
According to Ampere's Law, the strength of the magnetic field around a long, straight wire carrying current is directly proportional to the current and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire at which it is measured. Assuming fixed distance from the wire (meaning that you're measuring in the same place), if you increase the current by 1.75/.25= 7 times, you will also increase the magnetic field by 7 times.

Why nucles contributes less magnetic moment than electron magnetic moment due to spin?
Because it is about 10,000 times smaller. The magnetic moment depends on the strength of a magnet's poles, and on its separation; or, in the case of a current loop, the strength of the current, and the area it surrounds.
How do you calculate the magnetic field strength in an injector cyclotron?
- Magnetic field strength is the intensity of a magnetic field at a given location. Historically, a distinction is made between magnetic field strength H, measured in ampere/meter, and magnetic flux density B, measured in tesla. Magnetic field strength is defined as the mechanical force (newton) on a wire of unit length (m) with unit electric current(A). The unit of the magnetic field, therefore, is newton/ (ampere x meter), which is called tesla. The magnetic field may be visualized by magnetic field lines. The field strength then corresponds to the density of the field lines. The total number of magnetic field lines penetrating an area is called magnetic flux. The unit of the magnetic flux is tesla x m2 = weber. The older units for the magnetic flux, maxwell = 10-8 weber, and for the magnetic flux density, gauss = maxwell / cm2 = 10-4 tesla, are not to be used any more. Magnetic flux density diminishes with increasing distance from a straight current-carrying wire or a straight line connecting a pair of magnetic poles around which the magnetic field is stable. At a given location in the vicinity of a current-carrying wire, the magnetic flux density is directly proportional to the current in amperes. If a ferromagnetic object such as a piece of iron is brought into a magnetic field, the "magnetic force" exerted on that object is directly proportional to the gradient of the magnetic field strength where the object is located. ------------------------------------------------------------------- B=μH Magnetic field in Solenoid B=μnI where n is turns/m So H=nI --------------------------------------------
Current passing through a conductor is increased from 10 A to 15 A. This decreases the strength of the magnetic field produced by the conductor.?
No. More current will result in more magnetic field.
Does an electric current produces a magnetic field?
yes*edit: don't confuse moving with changing. A change in magnetic field strength/direction will induce an electric current.
What happens to the strength of magnetic force in an electromagnet when increasing the current through the coil?
The strength is increased, this is how Roller Coasters operate.
What determines the strength of a magnetic field?
factors on which magnetic field a bar magnet depends :- 1. pole strength of the magnet 2. medium in which the bar magnet is present(since the permittivity changes) factors on which external magnetic field(B) of a current carrying coil depends:- 1. the amount of current flowing through the conductor 2. the perpendicular distance of the point from the conductor. 3. medium in which the conductor is present(since the permittivity changes)
Inductive ammeters work because of what principle?
Inductive Ammeters do not make physical contact with the circuit, but measure the strength of the magnetic field surrounding the wire carrying the current and measures the strength of the magnetic field that surrounds any conductor carrying a current.This means that the meter probe surrounds the wire(s) carrying the current and measures the strength of the magnetic field that surrounds any conductor carrying a current.
Does a moving magnetic field produce an electric current?
yes*edit: don't confuse moving with changing. A change in magnetic field strength/direction will induce an electric current.
What is the relationship between magnetic fields and electricity?
-- A current flowing through a conductor creates a magnetic field around the conductor. -- Moving a conductor through a constant magnetic field creates a current in the conductor. -- If there's a conductor sitting motionless in a magnetic field, a current flows in the conductor whenever the strength or direction of the magnetic field changes.
