A coil of wire with current passing through it has a coil of wire spinning inside it. That is how an alternator works. As a wire cuts through a magnetic field it causes current to flow in the wire. Faraday.

How can electricity be generated using magnets?

Electricity can be generated using magnets through a process called electromagnetic induction. When a magnet moves near a coil of wire, it creates a changing magnetic field, which induces an electric current to flow in the wire. This current can then be harnessed as electricity for various applications.


Would there be any electromagnetism if you coiled bare copper wire onto a shiny iron bar?

Yes, there would be electromagnetism generated when an electric current flows through a coil of bare copper wire wrapped around a shiny iron bar. The iron bar would increase the strength of the magnetic field produced by acting as a magnetic core, enhancing the electromagnet's performance.


How is magnetism created and what are two ways that it can be generated?

Magnetism is created by the alignment of magnetic domains in a material. Two ways to generate magnetism are by passing an electric current through a coil of wire (electromagnetism) or by exposing a material to a strong magnetic field (permanent magnetism).


What was Hans christian oeresteds hypothesis on electric current flows?

Hans Christian Oersted's hypothesis was that an electric current produces a magnetic field around it. This hypothesis led to the discovery of electromagnetism and laid the foundation for the development of the field of electromagnetism.


What is the difference between magnetism and electromagnetism?

Magnetism is a natural force produced by certain materials, while electromagnetism is the interaction between electric currents and magnetic fields. In other words, magnetism is a property of materials, while electromagnetism involves the flow of electric current.

What is the principle of electromagnetism?

pricinples of electromagnetism state that when current passes through a piece of wire magnetic field is generated around the piece of wire and when a piece of wire passes through the magnetic field current is induced into the piece of wire


Does current affect electromagnetism?

Does current affect electromagnetism? No. Does current affect magnetic fields? Yes. The laws (Maxwell's Equations) pertaining to electromagnetism is constant and will not change regardless of current applied. However, Maxwell's equations does dictate that a change in current will essentially result in a change in magnetic fields. Current flow will produce a magnetic field perpendicular to the current direction.

What type of electricity is generated using a river's current?

Electric current is the rate at which electrons flow from one atom to another. It relates to a river in that the electrons which make up the current are always flowing in the same direction just like the current in a river.
