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
Can moving electrons through a magnetic field can produce an electric current?
Electrons moving is an electric current. An electric current moving at an angle to a magnetic field will produce a Force.
Does an electric current traveling through a wire generate a magnetic field?
Yes, an electric current traveling through a wire generates a magnetic field. There is no way that it cannot do this.
When a electric current flows through a wire it creates a?
When an electrical current flows through a wire it creates what is called an Electro Magnetic Field.A magnetic field is create when an electric current flows through a wire.
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.
What flows through a circuit and causes a magnetic field?
An electric current flowing through a circuit causes a magnetic field. This is due to the movement of electric charges, usually electrons, in the circuit. The magnetic field produced is perpendicular to the direction of the current flow.
What does a coil do?
Produce a magnetic field as electric current passes through it.
When an electric current is passed through a coil what does this create?
A magnetic field.
Do magnetic effect of electric current causes a change in colour in a solution through which electric current is passed?
i don't believe it does
Which is true electric current running along a wire can be used to produce magnetic force or moving electrons through a magnetic field can produce an electric current?
They're both true, but I'm not comfortable with the way they're stated. I would have said: -- Electric current through a wire produces magnetic force. -- Moving electrons constitute an electric current, whether or not they're moing througha magnetic field.
Who discovered electromagnetic force?
Hans Orsted first discovered that when an electric current was run through a wire and put close to a compass, the needle moved toward it. Although, he had no idea what that meant. Michael Faraday, built on his work and found that when an electric current runs through a wire, a magnetic field is produced around the wire. He also found that an electric field is around a wire it produces an electric current. The direction of the current depends on which direction the field is going in. The faster you move the electric field the stronger the current.
When does an electromagnet produce a magnetic field?
A magnetic field is generated whenever a current is passing through a wire.
