Is the process of producing an electric current by moving a loop of wire through a magnetic field?
A current is induced in the conductor by the moving magnetic field (relative to the wire, the field is moving) I guess induction might be the term you are looking for.Another AnswerMoving a magnet through a loop of wire will induce a voltage, not a current, into a coil. If the coil forms a closed loop, then a current will result. But it's a voltage that's being induced, not a current -the current is merely the result of that voltage.
What forms of electricity are caused by turning wire inside a magnet?
Rather than turning the wire, it needs to move through a magnetic field. Unless the magnet has infinite length, it will need to come back again, or form part of a coil, which turns within the field. I think the answer you are looking for is AC, (Alternating Current). This is because as the coil turns inside the magnetic field, it first cuts the field one way and then the other as part of its rotation. The direction of the current will also flow one way and then back the other. AC.
What surrounds an electrified wire?
You would usually put a layer of insulation, often plastic, around a wire which carries electricity. However you may be looking for the magnetic field which forms when a current flows.
How are the atoms in a magnet arranged?
The atoms in a magnet are arranged in some kind of lattice, but the arrangement of the atoms is not what is important. What is important is that the magnetic dipoles of a good portion of the atoms are all "pointing" in the same direction. The aligned atomic magnetic dipoles form groups called magnetic domains, and these are locked in place making the magnet a permanent magnet. It "permanently" holds its magnet field, and is said to be a permanent magnet. And all because the magnetic domains in the ferromagnetic material are largely aligned.
A coil of wire with a current is called a?
A coil of current carrying wire wrapped around an iron core, with at least two taps (one including the entire winding, and one including only part of the winding) is a transformer, or more specifically an auto transformer.
Which law gives the direction of magnetic field due to a current carrying conductor?
The right hand rule. If you were to place your right hand around the conductor, with the thumb pointing in the direction of current flow, your fingers which are wrapped around the conductor will point in the direction of magnetic flux. Said another way, if you are looking at the end of the conductor and current is flowing towards you, then magnetic flux will be counter-clockwise.
What simple rule has been established for finding the direction of magnetic force around a current-carrying conductor?
The right hand rule. If you were to place your right hand around the conductor, with the thumb pointing in the direction of current flow, your fingers which are wrapped around the conductor will point in the direction of magnetic flux. Said another way, if you are looking at the end of the conductor and current is flowing towards you, then magnetic flux will be counter-clockwise.
How is the direction of a magnetic field determind?
The cheap and easy way that we did in school long ago was to put the magnetic on a table, lay a sheet of paper on top, and sprinkle iron shavings on it. I don't know if that always works, but it did for our experiment. If you are looking to measure the Gauss of the magnet. I would see how much force is exerted on a steel bar and search the Internet to see if there are some simple formulas. Depending on what you're looking for, I can provide more help.
What is an equation for the force acting at a point between two parallel conductors carrying current in the same direction?
The basic equation you're looking for if F = IL x B, I = current in wire L = vector, magnitude = length of wire, direction is the direction of the wire B = magnetic field vector. x = cross product Since current is flowing in the same direction in the two parallel wires, the total force will be Ftot = F1 + F2, where F1 is from one wire, and F2 is from the other wire.
What are magnetic compasses used for?
It is for pointing out the direction you are going for and for looking or finding the answer your looking
Where on the outside of an aircraft would you find a green navigational light?
On the Starboard or (righthand side) wingtip as looking from the rear of the aircraft. Same as on a ship.

The opposite direction of conventional current?
It doesn't always do so, but it does, in the case of an electron current."Conventional current" is, by definition, the equivalent of a flow of positive electric charge. So, if a current consists of positive carriers (e.g., holes, or positive ions), the conventional current flows in the same direction as the current carriers. On the other hand, if the current consists of negative carriers (like electrons - the most common carrier for electric current), the electrons flow in one direction, but the conventional (positive, fictitious you might say) current flows in the other direction.On a macroscopic scale, it is often useful to forget about the actual current carriers; for example, an electron current flowing to the left, and a current of positive ions flowing to the right, will have the same effect on a magnetic field.It doesn't always do so, but it does, in the case of an electron current."Conventional current" is, by definition, the equivalent of a flow of positive electric charge.

How can you tell that the Earth has a magnetic field?
Hang a magnetized object from a thread attached to its midpoint, so that it balances with its poles at the same level, like a propeller.Notice that regardless of what position you point it, it has a direction in which it wants to point, and when you let it go, it always rotates itself to that direction.An identical object that's NOT magnetized won't behave that way.
What is right hand rule in geology?
There are two different right hand rules...American right hand rule: Looking to the strike direction, the bed dips to the right. In our example, that would fit with 000/45. So, looking to the north, the bed dips to the right, to 090 (east).British right hand rule: The thumb of the right hand indicates the dip direction, and the heal points to the strike direction. So in our example, we would record the orientation as 180/45. That is: Strike towards 180 (perfect south bearing), and dip of 45º towards 090.
Can a rectifier work either way?
if you are looking for the direction of rectifier than Yes. the rectifier convert the alternating current to one directional Direct current. It work as short circuit on the case of forward biasing and work as open circuit on the reverse biasing so it can work only in one direction.
