There ARE no magnetic lines of force. The magnet and iron filings demonstration causes the illusion of lines, but if you take a picture of the "lines" and replace the paper and iron filings, the "lines" will appear in a different place. But if there WERE lines of force they probably could exist in vacuum.

When does current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a maximum force?

It experiences maximum force when it is placed perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field.


What is the relationship between electricity and magnetisum?

The magnetic field will be perpendicular to the electric field and vice versa.More DetailAn electric field is the area which surrounds an electric charge within which it is capable of exerting a perceptible force on another electric charge. A magnetic field is the area of force surrounding a magnetic pole, or a current flowing through a conductor, in which there is a magnetic flux. A magnetic field can be produced when an electric current is passed through an electric circuit wound in a helix or solenoid.The relationship that exists between an electric field and a magnetic field is one of electromagnetic interaction as a consequence of associating elementary particles.The electrostatic force between charged particles is an example of this relationship.


When a conductor is moved through a magnetic field the force of the magnetic field generates what in the conductor?

Yes Ofcourse ,when a curren is allowed to pass through a conductor,"IT IS BEING SURROUNDED BY MAGNETIC FIENLD".... Because it somehow behaves as the electromagnet as per FARADAY LAW OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION.............

Do magnetic lines of force pass through vaccum or not?

Yes, magnetic lines of force can pass through a vacuum. This is because magnetic fields can exist in the absence of matter and can travel through empty space without the need for a medium like air or water.


Do electrical currents always produce a magnetic force?

Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.


How does a magnet respond in a vacuum?

Pretty much the way it responds in air. There is little difference between the ability of the magnetic lines of force to "penetrate" and "travel through" air as a vacuum. The "field strength" and "field pattern" will be virtually identical.


Does magnetic force travel through glass?

It depends on how thick the glass is and how strong the magnets are.


Does magnetism go through paper?

Yes. Magnetic lines of force penetrate paper with little to no difficulty.


Why can electromagnetic waves travel through space?

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate because they are self-sustaining oscillations of electric and magnetic fields. This allows them to travel through the vacuum of space where there is no material medium present.


If someone asked you to prove that electro- magnetic waves travel in a vacuum what would you say?

Electromagnetic waves are known to travel through vacuum based on empirical evidence and theoretical knowledge in physics. This is supported by experiments such as the Michelson-Morley experiment and the behavior of electromagnetic radiation in space. Additionally, electromagnetism is a fundamental force in nature with well-established properties, including the ability to propagate through vacuum.


Electro magnetic force?

The electromagnetic force is one of the fundamental forces in nature, responsible for interactions between charged particles. It encompasses both electric and magnetic forces, which are manifestations of the same fundamental force. It plays a crucial role in a wide range of phenomena, from holding atoms together to generating light and other electromagnetic waves.


What type of earthquake wave could travel through a vacuum?

Since an earthquake or seismic wave is a pressure or force wave (like sound waves), it requires a material in which to propagate. So, no earthquake waves can travel through a vacuum.


Does everything travel faster through a vacuum?

Light travels faster through a vacuum. Velocity does not change in a vacuum, so objects retain their original speed and direction unless acted upon by another force, like gravity.


Why Speed Of Light is not affected by Earth's Magnetic Field although Light is considered to be an Electromagnetic wave?

As light can also travel in vacuum so no extra force can change its direction.


How is Magnetic flux in a rectangular loop directly related to Magnetic force?

Magnetic flux through a loop is just a measurement of the strength of the magnetic field passing through the loop, and since magnetic field strength is directly related to magnetic force, magnetic force is directly related to the magnetic flux passing through the loop.
