The strength of electric and magnetic fields remains constant as you move away from the source of the electric and magnetic fields?

yes


Can the earths magnetic field move?

Yes it can reverse from North to South


What creates magnetic fields?

Magnetic fields are created by moving electric charges. When charged particles like electrons move, they generate magnetic fields. These magnetic fields can interact with each other and with other magnetic materials to produce various effects.


How do earths magnetic pole reversals provide evidence for plate tectonics?

Magnetic stripes can be seen as you move away from ocean ridges.


What part of an atom is responsible for producing magnetic fields?

The part of an atom responsible for producing magnetic fields is the electrons. Electrons possess a property called "spin," which generates a magnetic moment. When electrons move around the nucleus of an atom, their spinning motion creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field can interact with other magnetic fields to produce various magnetic effects.


What statements about magnetic fields B is not true?

Magnetic fields do not require a medium to propagate, unlike mechanical waves. The direction of the magnetic field lines represent the direction a north magnetic pole would move if placed in the field. Magnetic fields can only be produced by moving charges or currents, and not by stationary charges. Magnetic fields exert forces on moving charges according to the Lorentz force law.

rocks get older as you move away from ocean ridges


What is responsible for creating magnetic fields?

Magnetic fields are created by moving electric charges. Whenever charged particles such as electrons move through a conductor or orbit around an atom, they generate a magnetic field. Additionally, magnetic fields are also generated by the movement of liquid iron within Earth's outer core.


How are suns magnetic fields produced?

The magnetic fields of suns are believed to be generated by the motion of charged particles (primarily ionized hydrogen) within the star's outer layers. As these charged particles move and circulate, they create electric currents, which in turn give rise to magnetic fields. The complex interactions between these moving charged particles and the magnetic fields help to sustain the sun's magnetic activity.


The magnetic fields of any magnet are greatest to?

The magnetic fields of any magnet are greatest closest to the poles (north and south). The strength of the magnetic field decreases as you move away from the poles towards the center of the magnet.


What do the earths magnetic poles move around?

This happens about once every 50 to 100 thousand years and is called a magnetic reversal.It would appear that the self generated magnetic fields formed by rotating bodies all undergo pole reversals. For instance the Sun does this about every 11 years.


Why is it hard to read a compass when standing at one of the earths poles?

Because the earths magnetic poles move around from year to year, and even day to day.
