How does magnetism and electricity work together?

When current flows in a conductor there is a magnetic field formed around the conductor. This magnetic field can be used to make an electric magnet (like the ones used at junkyards), motors also use magnetism to operate, and many switches (solenoid, motor starters, and relay switches) use magnetism to open or close.


What part of the atom causes magnetism and how does it cause magnetism?

The electrons in an atom are responsible for magnetism. When electrons move around the nucleus, they create a magnetic field. This magnetic field can align with other magnetic fields to create attraction or repulsion, resulting in magnetism.


Unit of magnetism are?

The unit of magnetism are: Weber for magnetic flux, Tesla for magnetic flux density and ampere per meter for magnetic field strength.


Can an electric current be produced by magnetism?

Yes, an electric current can be produced by magnetism through electromagnetic induction. When a magnetic field changes in intensity or moves relative to a wire, it induces an electric current in the wire. This phenomenon is the basis for how generators and transformers work.


Why is there magnetism on earth?

All magnetism is due to circulating electric currents. 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.

Can animals detect magnetism?

No animal really "detects" magnetism, however animals do use magnetism such as: Pigeon's. little Ions in their brains' line up with the Earth's Magnetic field (EM Field).

Can weightlessness in the space station be converted to gravity by magnetism?

Im not sure if this is the correct answer but its my thought that for magnetism to work there must be a magnetic field. Not all celestial beings have a magnetic field allowing for a magnetic attraction therefore magnetism cannot be the answer to the gravitational problem of space flight though it is also my thought that a series of motor driven gyroscopes might hold an answer.


How does the process of electromagnetic induction work?

The process by which a substance, such as iron or steel, becomes magnetized by a magnetic field. The induced magnetism is produced by the force of the field radiating from the poles of a magnet.

What is difference between residual magnetism and retentivity?

Residual magnetism and remanence are the same thing. The term residual magnetism is often used in engineering applications. Both terms describe the magnetization, and measure of that magnetism, left behind in a ferromagnetic material after the external magnetic field is removed.

How does magnetism make a television work?

There's no function inside a TV set that requires magnetism to make it work.


How do metals exhibit magnetism?

Metals exhibit magnetism when the electrons in their atoms align in the same direction, creating a magnetic field. This alignment can occur naturally or be induced by an external magnetic field.


What is the phenomenon of magnetism caused by?

The phenomenon of magnetism is caused by the alignment of the magnetic moments of atoms within a material, creating a magnetic field.
