How do you isolate magnetism remaining in the core of a electromagnet after the coil current is removed?

Your question is confusing, as you do not explain what you mean by 'isolate'. If you mean 'allow the core to retain some magnetism', then this will always be the case when the current through the coil is reduced to zero. In order to remove this 'residual magnetism', you will need to reverse the direction of current through the coil. This is a feature of what is known as 'hysteresis', by which changes in the flux density of a core 'lags behind' changes to the magnetic field strength that creates it.

Is the dc shunt motor does not have any brushes?

No. A d.c. 'shunt' motor is one whose stator's field windings are connected in parallel with its rotor windings ('shunt' is simply an archic term for 'parallel'); it does not mean that the rotor can function without brushes.


What does Magnestism mean?

Magnetism is used to show how attractive something is. For example, a magnet can attract a paperclip from a certain distance. The distance is its magnetism.


Do electrons cause magnetivity?

I suppose you mean magnetism. Magnetism is caused by electrical currents. These may consist of electrons, or of other charged particles.


Why is residual magnetism is necessary?

'Residual magnetism' isn't something that's 'necessary'; rather, it's something you're stuck with, whether you want it or not! Residual magnetism is due to a phenomenon called 'hysteresis', which is derived from a Greek word, meaning 'to lag'.A bit of background first. If we were to wind an insulated coil around the sample of ferromagnetic material, and pass a current through that wire, we would create and apply magnetic field strength (symbol: H), expressed in amperes per metre, to that sample. This results in a magnetic field being set up within the sample, the intensity of which we call its flux density (symbol: B) expressed in teslas.If we gradually increase the magnetic field strength, the resulting flux density would also increase until a point, called 'saturation' is reached -at this point any further increase in magnetic field strength will NOT increase the flux density. If we were to graph this behaviour, then the result would look something like an elongated 'S', rather than a straight line. This graph is known as a B-H curve.Now, if we were to reduce the magnetic field strength to zero, the magnetic flux density would also reduce towards zero (following a slightly-different curve) but would not reach zero when the magnetic field strength reaches zero -in other words, when we remove the magnetic field strength, the sample 'retains' some flux density -and we call this 'residual magnetism' or, more accurately, 'residual flux density' or 'remanance'. This is what we mean by 'hysteresis' -i.e. changes in magnetic flux density lag behind changes in magnetic field strength.To remove this residual flux density, we would actually need to reverse the direction of the magnetic field strength (by reversing the direction of the current through the coil) until the flux density falls to zero.Different ferromagnetic materials have different values of residual flux density. For example materials that make good permanent magnets have very high values of residual flux density while others, such as metals used to make transformers, electromagnets, etc., have very low values of residual flux density.To summarise, residual magnetism is something that occurs naturally and the amount of residual magnetism depends on the type of magnetic material involved. It's not a matter of being 'necessary', it's simply a characteristic of ALL magnetic materials.


Can a motor be used for generator?

Yes, all motors are generators and all generators can be generators. Depending on the type of motor, some are easier to work with. If you mean the common induction motor, you can plug it in and it...


What is different between electricity and magnetism?

Magnetism is the property of materials that respond at an atomic or subatomic level to an applied magnetic field.electricity mean flow of charge.


What does residual deficits mean?

Residual deficits is a term used in the medical field. It refers to leftover issues that occur due to a condition. For example, after a stroke, one may have residual deficits that prohibit certain movements.
