What happens when an electrical current runs through a conductor?
When an electrical current runs through a conductor, electrons flow in the direction of the current. This flow of electrons creates a magnetic field around the conductor. The amount of current flowing through the conductor is directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field produced.
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?
moving
Does a change in the flow of current through a conductor causes a change in the electromagnetic field surrounding the conductor?
Yes. The strength of the magnetic field surrounding a conductor is proportional to the magnitude of the current in the conductor.
When a conductor is passed through a magnetic field a current is induced in the?
conductor due to electromagnetic induction. This occurs because the changing magnetic field around the conductor induces an electric current to flow through it.
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
How is the movement of electrons in a conductor related to the formation of magnetic field?
When electrons move through a conductor, they create a flow of electrical current. This flow of current generates a magnetic field around the conductor in accordance with Ampere's law. The strength of the magnetic field is directly related to the magnitude of the current and the distance from the conductor.
Created around a conductor when electrons flow through that conductor?
Then an 'electrical current' is said to be present in the conductor.
Can Magnetism cause an electric current to flow in a conductor?
Yes, a MOVING magnetic field will cause electric current to flow in a conductor. Conversely an electric current flowing in a conductor will cause a magnetic field.
What is the steady flow of electrons through a conductor?
The terminology for a steady flow of electrons through a conductor is called the current of the circuit.
What is the flow of electrons is called?
The flow of electrons is called electric current. It is the movement of electric charge through a conductor, such as a wire, in response to an electric field.
Force on a current-carrying conductor?
When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, a force is exerted on the conductor due to the interaction between the magnetic field and the current. This force is known as the magnetic Lorentz force and its direction is perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the current flow. The magnitude of the force depends on the strength of the magnetic field, the current flowing through the conductor, and the length of the conductor exposed to the magnetic field.
What are 3 ways to change characteristics of a magnetic field by an electric current?
By changing the magnitude of the current flowing through the conductor. By changing the direction of the current flow in the conductor. By changing the orientation or shape of the conductor carrying the current.
