Can an electric current produce a field magnetism around it?

yes. electric current low always generates a magnetic field.


How are electric currents and magnetism related?

Magnetism could be produced due to the flow of electrical current. This was first discovered by Oersted. By changing the magnetic flux linked with a coil electric current could be induced. This was first studied by Michael Faraday. Just due to the orbital motion or spin motion of electron magnetism is produced in tiny form and is known as magnetic dipoles. Such dipoles getting oriented in different form lead to form dia, para and ferro magnetic materials.


How do you show that electric current causes magnetism?

Put a wire carrying an electric current near a compass and it causes the needle to deflect.


How did Oersted discover the relationship between an electricity and magnetism?

Hans Christian Oersted discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism in 1820 when he observed that an electric current flowing through a wire caused a nearby compass needle to deflect. This observation demonstrated that an electric current produces a magnetic field.


What is magnetism produced by?

All magnetism is due to circulating electric currents or motion of electric charge. In magnetic materials the magnetism is produced by electrons orbiting within the atoms; in most substances the magnetic effects of different electrons cancel each other out, but in some, such as iron, a net magnetic field can be induced by aligning the atoms.

What will increasing the electric current to an electromagnet do to its magnetism?

An increasing electric current moving into an electromagnet will become stronger in its magnetism. As the atoms align the increasing magnetism will stop at one point, making the electromagnet as strong as it can be.


What is the difference between magnetism and electromagnetism?

Magnetism is a natural force produced by certain materials, while electromagnetism is the interaction between electric currents and magnetic fields. In other words, magnetism is a property of materials, while electromagnetism involves the flow of electric current.


How can you develop a magnet?

Electric current in a coil can induce magnetism in an iron nail,place near the coil.when the electric current is cut off the magnetism in the iron nail disappears.the magnetism in the nail exist so long as there is electric current in the coil.this is an electromagnet.

How is electricity produced from magnetism?

Electricity can be produced from magnetism through electromagnetic induction. When a conductor, such as a wire, moves through a magnetic field or when the magnetic field around a conductor changes, it induces an electric current to flow in the conductor. This current flow is the basis for producing electricity in generators and other electrical devices.


What type of magnets are produced by running rlrctric current through a soft iron core?

Electromagnets are produced by running electric current through a soft iron core. Soft iron enhances the magnetic properties and creates a temporary magnetism as long as the current flows through the core.


Magnetism and an electric current are related because?

they both produce a magnetic field :)


Is it true the accumulation of electric charged on an object is called magnetism?

No, it is not true. The accumulation of electric charge on an object is called static electricity. Magnetism is a separate phenomenon associated with the magnetic field produced by moving electric charges.


Can Magnetism cause an electric current to flow in a conductor?

Yes, a MOVING magnetic field will cause electric current to flow in a conductor. Conversely an electric current flowing in a conductor will cause a magnetic field.
