A electromagnetic field works by an electrical current flowing through an inductor which induces a magnetic field, as soon as the electrical current is switched off to the inductor, the electromagnetic field collapses.

Is Earth's gravitational field the same as its electromagnetic field?

No. Earth's gravitational field is due to the large mass within it; the electromagnetic field is due to the movement of the metals in its core. There are also the standard differences between a gravitational and an EM field.


What are electromagnetic oscillators?

when a charge oscillates for example in a capacitor it produce an electric field; which in turns produce a magnetic field in an inductance. the magnetic field oscillates perpendicular to the electric field and an electromagnetic waves perpendicular to both is produced.


Is there an electromagnetic field produced by electric heating pads?

Yes, electric heating pads produce electromagnetic fields due to the flow of electricity through the heating elements. The strength of the electromagnetic field varies depending on the design and power of the heating pad. However, the electromagnetic fields from electric heating pads are generally considered to be low and not a significant health concern for most people.


An electric field surrounds an electric charge What additional field surrounds a moving electric charge?

A moving electric charge produces both an electric field and a magnetic field. The magnetic field surrounds the moving charge and is perpendicular to both the direction of motion and the electric field. This combined electromagnetic field is described by Maxwell's equations.


Why is B the symbol for magnetic induction?

When the magnetic field is observed from the North pole, the magnetic field emerges and and goes towards south. However, inside a magnet there is no field at all, thus forming butterfly shape lines. Hence, B stands for butterfly and due to this concept, scientists used the symbol B for magnetic induction.

What part uses an electromagnetic field to work?

An electromagnet uses an electromagnetic field to generate a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it.


When electric and magnetic fields both exist it is called an?

Not really. You could have both an electric field and a magnetic field occupying the same space at the same time but they wouldn't 'make the definition' of electromagnetic until they began to fluxuate in phase at a harmonized frequency.


What determines the direction of polarization of a radiated electromagnetic field?

The polarization of an electromagnetic field is defined as the direction of its E field (electrostatic).


What are facts about electromagnetic fields?

An electromagnetic field is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. The field can be viewed as the combination of an electric field and a magnetic field. The electromagnetic field may be viewed in two distinct ways: a continuous structure or a discrete structure.

What is the significance of the fringing field in electromagnetic field theory?

The fringing field in electromagnetic field theory is important because it represents the field outside the main region of interest, providing valuable information about the behavior of the electromagnetic field. Understanding the fringing field helps in accurately predicting the interactions and effects of electromagnetic fields in various applications, such as in antennas, sensors, and electronic devices.


What are the parts of the electromagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field that oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation. These two fields work together to carry energy and information through space.


What causes an electromagnetic field?

An electromagnetic field is caused by electric charges in motion. When charged particles move, they create a type of energy called electromagnetic radiation, which generates an electromagnetic field. This field consists of both electric and magnetic components, propagating outwards from the moving charges.


What effect does an electromagnetic field have on an electron?

An electromagnetic field can exert a force on an electron, causing it to accelerate or move in a specific direction. The direction and magnitude of the force depend on the strength and orientation of the electromagnetic field.

What is electromagnative field?

Nothing I know of but an "electromagnetic field" is a field with one axis the electrical one and another axis the magnetic one and a third axis of spacetime. Light is an electromagnetic field phenomenon.
