Yes and no.
For a nuclear explosion to produce an EMP of enough strength to do damage beyond the range of the blast, thermal flash, prompt radiation, etc. it must occur in the ionosphere, where it can push large amounts of ionized gas large distances through the earth's magnetic field, causing an induced current of billions of amperes in that gas. This EMP can affect an area 1000 miles or more in radius around surface zero. It has been calculated that 3 properly placed nuclear explosions of the right yield in the ionosphere over the continental US would kill the entire US power grid and all solidstate electronics.
Ordinary air or surface bursts do not produce enough EMP for it to even be included in nuclear effects calculations.

Some neutron stars that emit pulses of radiation called?
Some neutron stars that emit pulses of radiation are known as pulsars. Pulsars rotate rapidly and emit beams of electromagnetic radiation from their magnetic poles, which are observed as regular pulses when they sweep across the Earth.
What neutron star emit pulses of radiation called?
Pulsars and neutron stars emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
Do supernovas emit gamma rays?
Yes, supernovas emit gamma rays as part of the explosion process. These gamma rays carry a significant amount of energy and are one of the most powerful forms of radiation emitted during a supernova event.
What type of electromagnetic radiation do supernovas release?
Supernovas release a wide range of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, X-rays, and radio waves. This emission is a result of the intense energy and heat created during the explosion of a star.
Why don't pulsars emit pulses of visible light?
Pulsars emit pulses of radio waves because their strong magnetic fields accelerate charged particles, causing them to emit these waves. The energy distribution of the particles in a pulsar's magnetosphere favors radio waves over visible light.
Some neutron stars that emit pulses of radiation called?
Some neutron stars that emit pulses of radiation are known as pulsars. Pulsars rotate rapidly and emit beams of electromagnetic radiation from their magnetic poles, which are observed as regular pulses when they sweep across the Earth.
Why do astronomers use the lighthouse theory when explaining about pulsar?
Because they both emit regular pulses of electromagnetic radiation
What neutron star emit pulses of radiation called?
Pulsars and neutron stars emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
Do sharks feel electromagnetic pulses?
yes
What appears to emit pulses of radio waves?
it is a (n) pulsar
Do pulsars emit pulses x rays?
yes, some do.
Do pulsars emit pulses of X-ray?
yes, some do.
Do pulsar emit pulses of x-rays?
yes, some do.
Do pulsars emit pulses of x rays?
yes, some do.
Do supernovas emit gamma rays?
Yes, supernovas emit gamma rays as part of the explosion process. These gamma rays carry a significant amount of energy and are one of the most powerful forms of radiation emitted during a supernova event.
How effective is a Faraday cage in protecting electronic devices from electromagnetic pulses (EMP)?
A Faraday cage is very effective in protecting electronic devices from electromagnetic pulses (EMP) by blocking the electromagnetic radiation that can damage the devices.
What type of electromagnetic radiation do supernovas release?
Supernovas release a wide range of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, X-rays, and radio waves. This emission is a result of the intense energy and heat created during the explosion of a star.
