How does an electric current make a magnet?
the electric current is generated by the electric field. thus by the left hand rule when current is passed through a conductor a magnetic field is generated around it so that it is a similar act of a magnet. thus it seems to be a magnet.
What is the process by which electric current is generated by placing a wire in a magnet field?
electromagnetic induction
How is solenoid a magnet?
A Solenoid is an electro-magnet. It has coils of wire, usually copper. When an electric field is applied to the coils of wire, an magnetic field is generated. This magnetic field attracts a steel or iron segment on the switch and activates the switch.
When a magnet is moved through a coil of wire an electric current is generated in the coil because?
the magnetic field affecting the wire changes as the magnet moves.
Is a generator a magnet?
Anytime a particle experiences a change in charge or anytime charged particle travels, a magnetic field a generated.
What is generated when a permanent magnet is moved in front of a coiled wire and the magnet's magnetic field pushes and pulls electrons in the coiled wire?
an AC, or alternating current
What is difference between of Electromagnet and Electric Magnetic Field?
An electromagnet is a magnet that only generates magnetic forces when electricity is running through it, basically a magnet that can be turned on and off. An electromagnetic field is the magnetic force generated when an electromagnet is used.
Why does a magnet have to be made out of metal?
Other elements - nonmetals - cannot maintain a dense and ordered enough structure that is needed for a net magnetic field to be generated.
How can electricity produce by using magnet?
Electricity is generated when a piece of conductive metal (such as copper) is passed through a magnetic field (or if the magnetic field is moved around the metal). A generator will have a copper wire in the center, surrounded by a magnet shaped like a torus (donut shaped, wire is in the hole in the middle). The wire is stationary. Electricity is generated when the magnet is spun (moving the magnetic field around the wire). This will generate an AC current (alternating current).
Who said the earth was a magnet?
The Earth is not a magnet. Its magnetic field is generated by electrical currents generated in the interior; or rather by the net sum of a number of separate electrical current processes. Nor is the strength or direction of the magnetic field fixed; it varies with time, and is well known to have reversed in polarity many times. The 'axis' of the Earth's magnetic field is not coincident with the spin axis - it is biased well off to one side.
What is a shape of a magnet field?
Depends on the shape of the magnet, but in general, the field is spheroid around the pole of the magnet.
Where is the field round a magnet strong?
The field strengthens as you get closer to the surface of the magnet.
