When electric current flows, a magnetic field is formed via induction. When copper wire, or another conductor is wrapped around a metal core, it forms an electromagnet.

Can a magnet stop an electric current?

A magnet cannot stop an electric current, but it can influence the flow of the current. Moving a magnet near a wire carrying an electric current can induce a voltage in the wire, which can affect the behavior of the current.


How can a magnet be used to create an electric current?

An electrical current will flow in a conductor, when a magnet is moved next to a conductor - or when the conductor is moved next to the magnet.


What is a magnet formed by electricity called?

Electromagnet. This is a type of magnet which the magnetic field is produced by the flow of electric current through wires generally surrounding a metal or iron core. Electric motors, generators, relays, loudspeakers, hard disks are examples of Electromagnets in other equipment.


When does a magnet induce an electric current in a wire coil?

A magnet induces an electric current in a wire coil when there is a relative motion between the magnet and the coil, which generates a changing magnetic field. This changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force, leading to the flow of an electric current in the wire coil.


Is a magnet a conductor?

A magnet will conduct electricity.


When a magnet is moved alongside a wire what happenes?

the electrons in the wire begin to flow


How an electric current formed?

An electric current is formed when a flow of charged particles, usually electrons, moves through a conducting material such as a wire. This flow is generated by a voltage difference, which creates an electric field that pushes the charged particles through the conductor.


What can stick to a magnet but doesn't conduct electricity?

A material like plastic can stick to a magnet but does not conduct electricity. This is because plastic is an insulator and does not allow electric current to flow through it.


How can electricity be used to make a magnet?

Any time there is ANY flow of electric charges (any current), the current will be surrounded by a magnetic field.


What is electricomagnet?

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by the flow of electric current. The magnetic field disappears when the current ceases.-wikipedia


What magnet is created by an electric current?

An electromagnet is created by an electric current. When electric current flows through a coil of wire, it generates a magnetic field. The strength of the magnetic field can be controlled by adjusting the amount of current flowing through the coil.


What is difference between electric and magnet current?

Electric current involves the flow of electrically charged particles, such as electrons, through a conductor. Magnet current, on the other hand, refers to the flow of magnetic field lines through a material, typically induced by an electric current passing through a wire. Magnet current is associated with the movement of magnetic fields, whereas electric current is associated with the movement of electric charges.
