To make an electricity magnet is the current electrical or battery?

Either AC or DC will do it, but usually a DC source (battery or rectified AC) is preferable, as the North and South poles won't keep changing ends

Is a magnet a insulator or conductor of electricity?
Assuming you mean electrical conductor / insulator, most bar magnets are made of solid metal, either iron, neodymium or an alloy of aluminium nickel and cobalt, so they conduct electricity. There is one type of magnet called a ferrite magnet which does not conduct electricity - they are the type often found in loudspeakers.
Why must you make a magnet by using batteries?
because battery supplies a direct current and to make a magnet with using the electrical method you need to supply direct current to the material {metal}which must be wounded with a coil {solenoid}.
How is electricity used to create a magnet?
If an electrical current flows, there will be a magnetic field. This is a law of nature; so all you need to do - basically - is make sure a current flows. The current should be DC.
What is a magnet made with a battery?
An electromagnet. Anytime electrical current flows through a conductor, a magnetic field is produced.
how does an electromagnetic crane works?
The electromagnetic crane has a huge electric magnet that is operated by an electrical current. When the electricity is switched on the magnet becomes magnetized for allowing metal objects to be picked up just like an ordinary magnet, but when electricity is turned off the metal object fall away.
How do you explain to a kid what electricity has to do with magnetism?
You can explain the basic relationships:* An electrical current will be accompanied by a magnetic field. That is, it will act as a magnet. * If a conductor moves through a magnetic field (e.g., near a magnet), a current will flow through the conductor (if there is a closed circuit).
How can a magnet be used to create an electric current?
An electrical current will flow in a conductor, when a magnet is moved next to a conductor - or when the conductor is moved next to the magnet.
Is magnet is a good conductor of electricity?
Conductor of electricity is sort of the definition of a magnet. Magnets conduct electrical fields; it is what makes them magnets, in very simple terms.
How can magnet produce current?
Faraday found that a wire passed by a magnet induces a current in the wire. This led to making an electrical generator.
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.
What is a temporary magnet caused by an electrical current?
A Electro Magnet, caused in theory by the alignment of the particles in the material duo to the current passing through it.
Do magnets make electricity?
No. Magnets create an electric feild, not electricity.However, when you spin a magnet inside a coil of wire (or you can spin the coil of wire instead), you will create an electrical current.
