A flow of electric current creates a surrounding swath of magnetic flux. This flux will mingle with and surround the current flow. If the current is bent by say winding a wire in the form of a coil, the flux will shape itself around the coil. The strength of the flux will vary with the current. Reversing the current reverses the flux direction.
What else can I help you with?
When a wire carries an electric current it products a?
It produces a magnetic field. Vice versa, when you run a magnet past a wire you generate an electric current. Electricity and magnetism are related. If you have electricity you can generate magnetism, if you have a magnet you can produce electricity.
How can electricity be used to generate magnetism?
Any time an electrical current flows, it will automatically be surrounded by a magnetic field.
What has the author Edward M Purcell written?

What is the branch of science that studies electricity?
The branch of science that studies electricity is called "electricity and magnetism" or electromagnetism. It deals with the interaction between electric charges and currents, and how they generate electromagnetic fields.
What has the author J E H Gordon written?
J. E. H. Gordon has written: 'A physical treatise on electricity and magnetism' -- subject- s -: Electricity, Magnetism 'A physical treatise on electricity and magnetism' -- subject- s -: Electricity, Magnetism
What is closely related to magnetism?
Electricity, magnetism and electricity are two aspects of a single force known as electromagnetism.
What is the difference between magnetism and electricity?
The difference between electricity and magnetism is that you must be in the same frame of reference as the electric field to experience electricity, because all that magnetism is, is electricity moving relative to you.Although they are two different forms of energy, you can use magnetism to create electricity and you can use magnetism to create electricity.Electricity is the flow of energy or current through a metallic substance. Magnetism is the attraction of the metallic molecules in a solid or substance.

What is required for electricity and magnetism?
Electricity is the movement of electrons between atoms. Magnetism only exists around moving electrons.
What two forces govern the movement of the planets and all other bodies in the universe?
Electricity, magnetism.
Are there electricity and magnetism in a computer?
Yes
