A magnetic conductor is a material that supports free movement of magnetic charge (magnetic monopoles), similar to an electric conductor that allows free movement of electric charges. On average the net charge is neutral. Of course, magnetic monopoles do not exist, but clever engineering can produce close to the same effects. Importantly, magnetic conductors have hugely different boundary conditions from electric conductors in electromagnetics and physics. A major research breakthrough in demonstration of wideband magnetic conductors was published in 2011 in "Wideband Artificial Magnetic Conductors Loaded With Non-Foster Negative Inductors" by Gregoire, D.J. ; HRL Labs., LLC, Malibu, CA, USA ; White, C.R. ; Colburn, J.S..

When is the force experienced by a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field the largest?

When the conductor,magnetic field and motion are perpendicular to each other


Why does the current carrying conductor experiences a force when it is placed in magnetic field state Fleming's left hand rule?

The force on current carrying conductor kept in a magnetic field is given by the expression F = B I L sin@ So the force becomes zero when the current carrying conductor is kept parallel to the magnetic field direction and becomes maximum when the current direction is normal to the magnetic field direction. Ok now why does a force exist on the current carrying conductor? As current flows through a conductor magnetic lines are formed aroung the conductor. This magnetic field gets interaction with the external field and so a force comes into the scene.


When a conductor is moved in a magnetic field a voltage will be induced on the conductor however current won't flow through the conductor unless the conductor is what?

moving


What is the process called in which a conductor cuts across a magnetic field and produces a voltage?

We call it induction when we pass a conductor through a magnetic field to produce voltage.


If an electrical current passes through a conductor what two things are generated?

If an electrical current passes through a conductor, there is an induced voltage (because no conductor has perfectly zero ohms), resulting in power dissipation, and there is a magnetic field, which can interact with other conductors in the vicinity of the first.

-- A current flowing through a conductor creates a magnetic field around the conductor. -- Moving a conductor through a constant magnetic field creates a current in the conductor. -- If there's a conductor sitting motionless in a magnetic field, a current flows in the conductor whenever the strength or direction of the magnetic field changes.


Can a static magnetic field exist in a good conductor?

A static magnetic field can exist in a good conductor. When the conductor carries current, it produces the flux which can exist inside the conductor. Due to this flux, magnetic field and intensity at a point inside the good conductor.

How do magnets magnetic fields electric currents and metals connect?

Well when an electric current flows through a conductor a magnetic field is produced. And a changing magnetic flux through a conductor produces a current in the conductor.


When is the force experienced by current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field strongest?

The force experienced by a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is strongest when that conductor is placed perpendicularly to the magnetic field.

When lines of force are cut by a conductor you have magnetic?

Presumably, you are asking what happens when a conductor 'cuts' lines of magnetic flux? If so, then a voltage is induced across the ends of that conductor.


Moving a conductor through a magnetic field a voltage is induced in the conductor is called what type of induction?

Moving a conductor through a magnetic field will produce alternatinc current (AC).


What does a conductor do in a magnetic field when current is suddenly passed through it?

the conductor has to be moved.
