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.

How do electricity and magnetism produce movement?

Well, electricity and magnetism are not the same. Electricity is the movement of free electrons in a material, while magnetism is a field in space that has direction and magnitude. In fact, you can create electricity with magnetism and motion. and you can make magnetism with electricity and motion. And for your knowledge you can create motion with electricity and magnetism. It is a law of nature, like gravity.


If a stationary electron sat inside a stationary magnetic field would the magnetic field cause the electron to move?

Stationary charge don't produce a magnetic field. because it has no velocity in it, without flow of electron we can't find electricity and for that we have no magnetic field for a stationary charge. It produce only electric field.


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.


How is magnetic force defined?

Magnetic Forcenounattraction for iron; associated with electric currents as well as magnets; characterized by fields of force [syn: magnetism]


Why does electricity produce magnetic field?

It is just one of the properties of matter that when an electric current passes through a conductor a magnetic field is formed around the conductor. Why this happens I don't think anyone knows.

Do electrical currents always produce a magnetic force?

Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.


Why are electrical machines made of magnetic materials?

Because the magnetic force between two magnets can produce electricity because the - and + will try to get to attract each other thus causing electricity


Can a electric current runnng along a wire be used to produce a magnetic force?

Whether or not you use it, there's always a magnetic field surrounding an electric current.When anything that can respond to a magnetic force is brought close enough to the current,it does feel a magnetic force.


What force do electromagnets produce?

Electromagnets produce a magnetic force when an electric current passes through them. This force is the result of the interaction between the magnetic field generated by the current and any nearby magnetic materials or other electromagnets.


Plants with a magnetic force?

Compass plants respond to Earth's magnetic field, but do not produce their own magnetic force.


Are electricity and magnetism the same thing?

Electricity and magnetism are similar but yet different. They are both able to make a form of each other. If electricity charges are pulled at a great force they will be able to create a type of magnetic force. Magnets are able to produce forms of electricity when their pulls are changed.


Did magnetic force always exits?

Yes. Magnetism is a force that has always existed.


Why does an electro magnet work?

Magnetizm and electricity are closly related. An electric current can produce its own magnetic field. Electricity can also be used to create a magnet. such magnets are called electromagnets. The electricity flowing through the tight coils of wire creates a strong magnetic fields from one end to the other. By running the electric current through a wire you can create a magnetic field. The force lines up all the magnetic particles in the nail and turns it into a magnet. The more coils of wire there are , the stronger the magnetic force.


What exerts the magnetic force?

The magnetic force is exerted by moving electric charges, such as electrons. When these charges move, they create a magnetic field. This magnetic field can interact with other moving charges to produce a force.


Why is there a limit to the magnetic force that a material can produce?

because there is a magnetic field round an object

How do magnets help generator produce electricity?

Magnets would have magnetic flux around. As a coil linked with this magnetic flux is rotated such that the flux would change then an electro motive force is induced. This is the way in which generator functions.
