yes

*edit: don't confuse moving with changing. A change in magnetic field strength/direction will induce an electric current.

Can an electric current exert a force on a magnet?

In a conductor - only if the field is moving, thus changing.


What depends on electric current to produce a magnetic field?

Your question is not quite crystal clear. However, a magnetic field is produced by a moving electric charge. Ordinarily, a current passing through a conductor will produce a magnetic field. In a fixed magnet, a group of the electrons has been organized so that their spins are aligned and this produces a permanent magnet. The Earth's magnetic field is the net result of a number of individual fields caused by electric currents generated in the hot interior of the mantle.


What is the connection between magnetism and electricity?

The connection between magnetism and electricity is electromagnetism. An electric current creates a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field induces an electric current. This relationship forms the basis of many technologies, such as electric motors and generators.


Does electricity always produce a magnetic force?

Magnetism, an aspect of electromagnetism, one of the fundamental forces of nature. Objects such as a bar magnet can influence other magnetic materials, without physically connecting them, because magnetic objects produce a magnetic field. Magnetic fields are usually represented by magnetic flux lines. Magnetic fields influence magnetic materials and also influence charged particles that move through the magnetic field.


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.

Can moving electrons through a magnetic field can produce an electric current?

Yes, a moving electron in a magnetic field can induce an electric current. This is the principle behind electromagnetic induction, where a changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a conductor.


How do electric currents produce magnetic fields?

Electric currents produce magnetic fields through the interaction of moving electric charges. When an electric current flows through a conductor, such as a wire, the moving electrons create a magnetic field around the conductor. This magnetic field is generated by the alignment of the electrons' spins and their movement in a particular direction. The strength of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the amount of current flowing through the conductor.


Who was the firs person to produce an electric current bby moving a wire through a magnetic field?

Michael Faraday


How does an electric current produce a magnetic field?

When an electric current flows through a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. This is because the moving electric charges in the current generate a magnetic field according to the right-hand rule of electromagnetism. The strength of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the amount of current flowing through the wire.


What are two fields surround a moving electric charge?

A moving electric charge will produce a magnetic field.A moving electric charge will produce a magnetic field.A moving electric charge will produce a magnetic field.A moving electric charge will produce a magnetic field.


Which is true electric current running along a wire can be used to produce magnetic force or moving electrons through a magnetic field can produce an electric current?

They're both true, but I'm not comfortable with the way they're stated. I would have said: -- Electric current through a wire produces magnetic force. -- Moving electrons constitute an electric current, whether or not they're moing througha magnetic field.


Do magnetic fields generate electric currents?

Not exactly. A CHANGING magnetic field, or a material moving through a magnetic field, will produce a VOLTAGE. This may or may not result in an actual current.


How electric current causes magnetic field around conductor?

When an electric current flows through a conductor, it creates a magnetic field around the conductor. This is due to the interaction between the moving charges (the electrons in the current) and the magnetic fields they produce. The magnetic field strength is directly proportional to the current flowing through the conductor.


How can an electric current produce a magnetic field and what is the relationship between the two phenomena?

An electric current produces a magnetic field because moving electric charges create a magnetic field around them. This relationship is described by the right-hand rule, which shows the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying wire. The magnetic field and electric current are interconnected through electromagnetism, as discovered by physicist Hans Christian Oersted in 1820.


Does moving an electric current cause a magnetic field?

yes


Why does a current carrying wire produce magnetic field but not electric field-whereas moving charge produces both?

There's something seriously wrong with the question's hypotheses.Current is moving charge, and moving charge is current.
