How is an electromagnet different from a refrigerator magnet?
A refrigerator magnet is magnetic because it is a "permanent" magnet. An electromagnet is a magnetic field caused by a current flowing through a wire.
Electromagnetic Induction states that moving a magnet through a loop of wire creates what?
Electric current
What type of magnet is created when electric current flows through a coil wire?
electromagnet
What magnet is created by an electric current?
Current flow
What does an electric current act like when it flows through a wire according to Hans Christian hypothesis?
a magnet
What controls the strength of a magnet made with electric current?
The strength of a magnet(electromagnet) made by flowing electric current through a conducting coil depends on magnitude of current. . .
What happens to the electric current if the magnet no longer moves in the coil?
The electrical current stops flowing.
What is a magnet that is creadted from electric current through a wire?
Electro-Magnet
What is a magnet created when electric current flows through a coil of wire?
A magnet created when electric current flows through a coil of wire is called an electromagnet.
What is the definition of eletro magnet?
A magnet that becomes energised when an electric current is passed through it.
How does an electric current make a magnet?
the electric current is generated by the electric field. thus by the left hand rule when current is passed through a conductor a magnetic field is generated around it so that it is a similar act of a magnet. thus it seems to be a magnet.
Why steel becomes a permanent magnet after electric current is passed through it?
Electric current is magnetic so when electric current pass through steel , steel will have the electric power and may be magnetic for awhile
Is not a permanent magnet?
An electromagnet is a magnet while an electric current is running through the coil. Turn off the current and it is no longer magnetised, and is, therefore, not a permanent magnet.
How is an electromagnet different from a refrigerator magnet?
A refrigerator magnet is magnetic because it is a "permanent" magnet. An electromagnet is a magnetic field caused by a current flowing through a wire.
What can electricity be created by?
An electric current can be created by moving a magnet through a metal coil.
Generating and inducing an electric current can be done through?
a moving coil and moving magnet
What is an eletro magnetic?
Electro magnets are only magnetic when an electric current is flowing, unlike a standard magnet which is always magnetic. When the electric current is switched off, the magnetism decays away (collapses). They normally take the form of a fixed core made of soft iron surrounded by a coil of copper wire which acts as the conductor for the electric current. There is a special form of electro magnet which has a movable core instead of it being fixed and this type of electro magnet is called a solenoid. You can see large electro magnets at work at a scrap metal yard, where they are employed on a crane jib to lift and transport scrap iron and steel.
