Why do electrons behave like magnets?
Electrons move in orbit and thus produce a magnetic field like a electromagnet.
Why does more coils make an electromagnet stronger?
The illustration on the HowStuffWorks website is probably the easiest to understand. As you add coils to the electromagnet you have more and more magnetic field traveling in a certain vector (depending on which way current is flowing). It's much like a lot of physics...as you add horses to a plow the force is increased. As you add coils to an electromagnet the magnetic field increases. As I said, check out this link for better understanding. http://science.howstuffworks.com/electromagnet4.htm\ A wire with an electric current passing through it, generates a magnetic field around it, this is a simple electromagnet. The strength of magnetic field generated is proportional to the amount of current. if we were to increase the number of coils the strength of the magnetic field would increase, also increasing the strength of the magnet
How is an electromgnet and a bar magnet different?
The bar magnet is what is termed a permanent magnet . This means that it is "always on" and can be used to do things like pick up paper clips. The electromagnet is created by winding a coil of wire about a ferromagnetic core and running a direct current through that coil. Only when the current is flowing will the electromagnet be operating. With the current switched off, the magnetic field around the coil of wire disappears, and the power of the electromagnetic disappears as well.There are some "fine points" associated with a further extension of this post, but the basic answer to the question is as written.A bar magnet is made from magnet materials and has a magnetic field at all times. An electromagnetic is not naturally magnet and only has a magnetic field when electricity is passed through it.
What is the role of permanent magnets in a speaker?
The electromagnet is positioned in a constant magnetic field created by a permanent magnet. These two magnets -- the electromagnet and the permanent magnet -- interact with each other as any two magnets do. The positive end of the electromagnet is attracted to the negative pole of the permanent magnetic field, and the negative pole of the electromagnet is repelled by the permanent magnet's negative pole. When the electromagnet's polar orientation switches, so does the direction of repulsion and attraction. In this way, the alternating current constantly reverses the magnetic forces between the voice coil and the permanent magnet. This pushes the coil back and forth rapidly, like a piston.
What is plasma plume?
The plasma plume is essentially like a river that surrounds the Earths magnetic field. It sends particles into the magnetosphere from the atmosphere.
Why do electrons behave like magnets?
Electrons move in orbit and thus produce a magnetic field like a electromagnet.
Is earth an electromagnet?
a part of the earths structure causes it to act like an electromagnet
Wooden core electromagnet vs iron core electromagnet?
A coil of wire or a coil in the shape of a cylinder is a typical shape for an electromagnet. The strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet can be increased significantly if the coil is wrapped around an iron core. This does not happen with nonmagnetic materials such as wood or aluminum or rubber. The enhancement of the electromagnet is caused by the magnetic properties of iron. The atoms of iron have magnetic properties as a consequence of thier electronic structure. (The cause of magnetism at the atomic level is a complex issue if described in detail and that complexity is beyond this explanation.) In a simplified picture one can say that at the atomic level the iron atoms act like little magnets. The magnetic characteristics of iron are such that an external magnetic field causes the rearrangement of the electronic structure of the iron at the atomic level and that creates a magnetization in the iron. That magnetizations has its own magnetic field just like a normal permanent magnet. The field created by the magnetization of the material adds to the external field and one gets a stronger magnetic field in and around the iron core.
Is an electromagnet likely to be attracted to a magnet?
An electromagnet is simply a device that will create a magnetic field when electricity is run through it (basically a normal magnet, but you need to plug it in). Depending on the magnetic charges of the electromagnet and the regular magnet, it should either attract or repulse like magnets normally do to one another.
How can somethings magnetic field like a tokamak not affect the earths magnetic field?
Because it is far too small to have any effect. The Earth's magnetic field is thought to be generated thousands of miles underground by moving rivers of iron.
Is the earths magnetic field constant throghout?
No, the Earth's Magnetic Field acts just like a BAR Magnetic. It has a North and South Pole and its magnetic lines of its force field are more tightly 'compressed' near the Poles than at the Equator. See the image below for an example, or Google "magnetic field lines".
Earth's magnetic field include an explanation of how scientist believe it is generate and two ways in which it helps people on earth?
The Earths magnetic field is generated by the cores fluid metal rotating like a dynamo. The fields generated make an impressive electromagnet. We use it for navigation. The Aurora Borealis is caused when cosmic rays strike it. That aids our understanding of both cosmic radiation and the flux density of the field.

What is electromegnetic?
an electromagnet is created by wrapping wire around a core, like iron. Then, by running a current through the wire, you can create an magnetic field.
What happens when the wire in a electromagnet is wrapped around a soft iron core?
A coil of wire or a coil in the shape of a cylinder is a typical shape for an electromagnet. The strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet can be increased significantly if the coil is wrapped around an iron core. This does not happen with nonmagnetic materials such as wood or aluminum or rubber. The enhancement of the electromagnet is caused by the magnetic properties of iron.

What happens when you add more coils to the wire in an electromagnet what else can you do to increase the magnetic field of an electromagnet?
The more loops gives the magnet more voltage. More loops produce more currents. The current that is induced as acts like an opposing magnet and makes it more difficult to move the magnet.
