Best Answer

An electron is a charged particle and as such it is surrounded by an electric field. A magnet is in general not charged so it will not form an electric field. It will, however, form a magnetic field.

In case your question is what an electric field is made of, then the answer is (virtual) photons, which are the mediators for the electromagnetic force.

Yes, an electric current flowing through a wire will create a magnetic field around the wire. To find the direction of the magnetic field you can use the right hand grip rule.

What part of a magnet is concentrated?

it isn't, a magnet contains electrons and neutrons which connect to the electrons and neutrons in metal!


Why there is an induced current in a coil when the bar magnet is thurst into the coil?

This is called ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION. The electrons have a magnetic field; the magnetic fields of electron and bar magnet interact. Both the bar magnet and the electrons are "pushed". The electrons are lighter; they move more easily. Moving electrons are called a current.


Why do poles on a magnet attract and repel?

Poles on a magnet attract or repel because of the way the electrons line up. The electrons in the valence shells tend to line up on one side of the nucleus. The electrons have a negative charge and the nucleus has a positive charge. The negative charges in one magnet repel the negative charges in another magnet but attract the positive charges in another magnet.


Does a magnet have moving electrons in it?

Any permanent magnet has electrons moving in it in some uniform way. All permanent magnets have a "uniform net movement" of electrons. Let's look just a bit more closely. Electrons move around atomic nuclei, but if we get the right material and "align" or "coordinate" the movement of the electrons around atoms, magnetic domains will be set up. These will "link" and a permanent magnet will result.


Why does stroking a material with a magnet make it magnetised?

because the magnet causes particles called electrons in the atoms of the nail to align along the magnet's lines of force. The atoms with aligned electrons then act like tiny bar magnets themselves.
