Yes, for as long as the magnetic field is moving along the conductor. A static magnetic field will not induce current, a dynamic field is required.

If an electrical current passes through a conductor what two things are generated?

If an electrical current passes through a conductor, there is an induced voltage (because no conductor has perfectly zero ohms), resulting in power dissipation, and there is a magnetic field, which can interact with other conductors in the vicinity of the first.


What will happen if you pass ac current passes through a inductor?

magnetic flux will be induced its use to rotate the shaft or given some force


If your car moves over a wide closed loop of wire embedded in a road urface is the magnetic field on the earth within the loop?

yes the perpendicular component of earths magnetic field passes through the loop even if the car is moving above it or not , but no current is induced in the loop since it is not moving


Why are moving iron test instruments not used with DC although they can work in DC?

For moving-iron instrument magnetic field is caused when the current (voltage) passes the fixed circle. When the current (voltage) passes the fixed circle,the two iron plates are magnetized ,rotational torque is resulted, the deflection angle indicate measured current. Because the magnetized polarity is same for AC or DC, moving-iron instrument can be used in AC and DC circuit. For permanent-magnet moving-coil instrument magnetic field is caused by the permanent-magnet, When the DC current passes the moving coil, rotational torque is resulted,so the deflection angle indicate measured DC current. As AC current passes the moving coil ,because inertia of moving parts of meter the deflection angle indicate rotational torque average, but rotational torque average is zero in cycle, moving parts of meter is´t deflec,so permanent-magnet moving-coil instrument only is used in DC circuit.


Why in inductor the current lags the voltage?

Because in an AC circuit, a capacitor opposes the change of voltage in at. At the peak of the voltage waveform, there is no change (it is nearly flat), so at this same point in time, the current waveform is at zero. Likewise, when the voltage waveform crosses zero, it is changing at its fastest rate, so the current is at its peak. If you draw these two waveforms next to one another, you will see the voltage has the appearance of being behind the current - hence the term 'lag'.

Why must the instantaneous current wave be exact 90 degree out-of phase with the applied voltage waveform across an ideal inductor?

Because the voltage induced is proportional to the rate of change of current, and the maximum rate of change of current occurs at the point where the current waveform is 'steepest' -i.e. as it passes through zero. So, as the current passes through zero, the corresponding value of induced voltage is maximum, which means the voltage and current waveforms are displaced by a quarter of the wavelength, or 90 degrees.


Why there is an induce current in a coil when a coil is compressed in a magnetic field?

compressing a coil in a magnetic field means that there is a relative movement of the the said coil existing in a magnetic field, hence current will be induced. induction law.Another Answer'Current' is not induced into a coil. It's voltagethat's induced; if the coil forms a closed loop, then current will flow; if there is no closed loop, then no current will flow.The induced voltage results from either a change in current through the coil, or from the relative movement between the coil and an external magnetic field.


Why voltage leads in Inductor?

Maximum induced voltage occurs when the current is changing at its greatest rate -this occurs when the current passes through zero. Since this voltage acts to oppose current flow, this maximum voltage acts in the negative sense when the current is acting in the positive direction. Since the supply voltage is equal, but opposite, the induced voltage, it is maximum when the current is zero -so leads by 90 degrees.

Why doesn't a transformer work only on a DC supplyand not in ac supply?

A transformer doesn' t work with DC current because voltage is induced in the output winding of the transformer when a magnetic field passes through the coils of this winding. This happens with AC current because the magnetic field is continually expanding and contracting. With a DC current the magnetic field is unchanging other than when you first turn it on. Since the magnetic field is not moving it is not moving through the windings and no voltage is produced.

Hall effect can be used to measure?

Hall effect can be used to measure the strength of a magnetic field. When a current passes through a conductor in a magnetic field, a Hall voltage is generated perpendicular to both the current and the magnetic field. By measuring this Hall voltage, the strength of the magnetic field can be calculated.


How does the strength of the magnet affect the current induced?

The strength of the magnet and its proximity effect the current produced. The magnetic flux density falls quickly so it is important to get close. The stronger the magnet the more lines of flux that pass a point as it moves. Or as something passes by it.


How do relay contacts become pressed together when a current passes in the coil?

Relay contacts change state (become pressed together) when a current passes through the coil because that current causes a magnetic field to be induced which attracts the armature, to which is attached the contacts.


What changes the flow of electrons in an alternating current?

first of all the voltage doesn't change what changes is the current direction the way they do it is by using magnet . electrons tend to escape from the magnetic field . you can find on you tube how a motor works for better idea.
