What is the force on a circular conductor in a magnetic field?
magnetic force
When does current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a maximum force?
It experiences maximum force when it is placed perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field.
Do magnets do a little or big force field?
depends on the strenght of the magnet
What are 3 factors which affect the magnitude of magnetic force on current-carrying conductors?
Electric current, magnetic field intensity, length of the conductor, angle between the electric current and magnetic field
What is the relationship between electricity and magnetisum?
The magnetic field will be perpendicular to the electric field and vice versa.More DetailAn electric field is the area which surrounds an electric charge within which it is capable of exerting a perceptible force on another electric charge. A magnetic field is the area of force surrounding a magnetic pole, or a current flowing through a conductor, in which there is a magnetic flux. A magnetic field can be produced when an electric current is passed through an electric circuit wound in a helix or solenoid.The relationship that exists between an electric field and a magnetic field is one of electromagnetic interaction as a consequence of associating elementary particles.The electrostatic force between charged particles is an example of this relationship.
What is the names of the area around a magnets in which magnetic force can be observed?
The 'magnetic field'
Can magnets attract objects without touching them?
A magnet has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic field causes a magnetic force that can attract objects to the magnet.
How are motors and magnets alike?
Magnets and electric motors are similar in that they both produce magnetic fields.
What are hard and soft magnets?
Hard magnets are those which require a high magnetic field so as to be magnetized. Soft magnets are those which acquire high magnetic flux when a little magnetic force is applied onto them.
Write a short notes on magnetic field?
Magnetism or magnetic field is the attraction for iron , associated with electric currents as well as magnets characterized by fields of force
Why can magnets attract objects without touching them?
Magnets have a magnetic field about them. This field can act on objects without the magnet coming in contact with the object.
What are materials attracted by a magnet called?
It is called the magnetic force. This is a force caused by the attraction or repulsion of the magnetic fields of the materials.
Why are there magnetic force in magnets?
Magnets have magnetic force in them, obviously, to attract or repel magnetic materials. The materials could not be attracted without the magnetic force because the magnet forces the magnetic material towards it.
What occurs to the magnetic field lines when the magnets have opposite poles facing each other?
The field lines are parallel and create an attractive force field.
Do magnets have magnetic force?
yes they do
Where do magnets get their energy to do work like attraction and repulsion?
Permanent magnets have a magnetic field around them. This field is an "area" of force, and the force is derived directly from the uniform motion of a large number of electrons in the ferromagnetic material. Moving electrons generate a tiny magnetic field around their path of travel, and this is the basis of the magnetic force. The "blocks" of atoms that have uniformly moving electrons are called magnetic domains. The aligned domains allow an "over all" magnetic field to be detected and even used by an investigator. The field will interact with ferromagnetic material to attract it, or will, when moved "past" any conductor, induce a voltage in that conductor. A pair of magnets will attract or repel, depending on how they are held or placed. The magnetic field of each one will interact with the field of the other, and the lines of force will push or pull, as suggested.
Are magnets really trying to get to the north pole when they move?
No. Think of the magnetic poles as merely gigantic magnets that produce strong magnetic force fields. Ordinary magnets are small duplications with tiny force fields of attraction. Also, remember that you can turn a magnet such that it repulses another, by reversing the direction of the force field within.
