That will depend on their electric charge: plus and minus charged rays will behave in opposite ways while uncharged rays will not be affected at all by the fields.

Is the sound from an electric guitar a sound or electromagnetic wave?

sound waves are all around us. the electric guitar will make/reflect sound waves just as it sits in the corner. sound waves is what sound is only that sound waves is the more scientific way of saying it.


How does the lighthouse model explain pulsars?

A neutron star contains a powerful magnetic field and spins very rapidly. the spinning magnetic field generates a tremendously powerful electric field, and the filed causes the production of electron positron pairs. As the charged particles are accelerated through the magnetic field, they emit photons in the direction of their motion, which produce powerful beams of electromagnetic radiation emerging from the magnetic poles. Pretty much when you look at it from far away it looks like it blinking at you so that's why they call it the light house model in the same way when your at sea and you see a blinking light in the distance which is a lighthouse. =)


How do magnets and electricity affect each other?

electromagnetizm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No it is not electromagnetism I think it is magnetic fields, North side being negative and South side being positive.... whatever!!!!!!!!!!! =!


How does a guitar make a noise?

Acoustic: The string vibrates - this causes the sounding board of the guitar to vibrate at the same frequency (note). The velocity of a wave through the soundboard is higher than that of the string, so the soundboard causes sounds much louder than the strings. Electric: The string vibrates, which disrupts the magnetic field of the pickups. Whatever frequency a string vibrates at causes a different magnetic flux. An electrical current can be induced by a change in magnetic flux. This current is sent to an amp, which produces the sound.

What is a magnetic field will be produced at some point in space if the electric field at the point?

As far as the electric field is stationary then no magnetic field. But when electric field is moving at a uniform speed then a magnetic field will be produced. This is what we call Lorentz magnetic field.


Can an electric field exist without a magnetic field?

An electric field can exist even without the presence of a magnetic field. An example of this is a stationary electric field.


Which of the following are created by an arrangement of electric charge or a current?

for apex its: a quantum field, a gravitational field


Why is a vibrating electric field an example of an electromagnetic wave?

The changing electric field will produce a magnetic field; the changing magnetic field will cause an electric field; both will propagate as a wave - an electro-magnetic wave.


Electric field in total magnetic field?

Electric field and magnetic field are two quite different things, and not necessarily related.


Does light produce both electric and magnetic field?

light exhibit magnetic field but i cant say about electric Field...


Can a changing magnetic field produce a steady electric field?

Not a steady but a moving electric field can be produced by ever changing magnetic field.


Can radioactive decay be kept constant by electric field?

Radioactive decay can't be controlled by an electric field - or by almost anything, for that matter.


How electric current have magnetic effect?

The magnetic force acts only on moving electric charges; A constant electric current produces an unchanging magnetic field and a changing electric current produces a changing magnetic field.


What is an electrical current that produces a magnetic field?

The deflection of a magnetic compass in the presence of an electric current, is evidence that an electric current produces a magnetic field.


What is the classical explanation of a dc electric current in a metallic wave?

A changing magnetic field always produces an electric field, and conversely, a changing electric field always produces a magnetic field. This interaction of electric and magnetic forces gives rise to a condition in space known as an electromagnetic field.


When does electric current behave like a magnet?

An electric current is always surrounded by a magnetic field. This is more noticeable (for example, it can be detected with a compass) in the case of DC, and if the two wires of a circuit are separate.
