What do you nedd to produce a continuous path of electric current?

to produce a continuous psource of electirc current, you would need electrons.


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.


What do you measure with electric current?

I presume you mean what do you measure electric current with. You would use an ammeter.


Do electric motors produce waste?

Since Electric Motors are not 100%, you could say that they produce "waste". I believe that the majority of that "waste" would be in the form of heat. Part of that heat is lost in the windings and is proportional to the square of the current, and part of it would be friction loss in the bearings. Electric motors are typically better than 90% efficient.


When a compass is placed near an electric outlet why does it move?

Electric current produce magnetic fields. However, in the case of AC (alternating current, usual in households), the current changes so quickly (and the current has an average value of zero) that I am not sure the effect on a compass would be visible to the naked eye.Electric current produce magnetic fields.

As electric generatar produce electric current due to magnetic induction than why current don't produce in electric motor as magnetic induction should also occur in electric motor?

I will attempt to answer the question I think your asking: 'If an electric generator produces an electric current due to magnetic induction, then why isn't a current produced via the same mechanism in an electric motor?' The answer to the best of my understanding is that it is, or at least, it would be. The reason is that in a generator a conducting wire is rotated in a magnetic field and this induces a current as each charged particle experiences a force as determined by F=q(vxB) [this is the vector form of the equation using the vector product] or F=Bqv if you are unfamiliar with vectors. As this causes electrons to move this manifests itself as an alternating current in a wire. Conversely in a motor and alternating current is passed through a magnetic field in a coil of wire, this time the wire now experiences a force F determined by F=I(lxB). This produces a torque on the centre of the motor and it is this torque that drives the motor. However if you were to rotate the coil of the motor externally without supplying a current to it then the reverse process would take place. This would induce an AC current in the motor which would now function as a generator. As a aside if this current was then driven through the generator it would then rotate exactly as the motor did.


What charge is an electric current?

Electric current is both positive and negative. If there were only one of those it would be an open circuit and it would not work. The particles would be able to flow one way but not the other.
