Earth has its own magnetic field which is emitted from iron core. This protects us from harmful rays. But it does not have an electric field

What is direction of the electric fields field near the earth's surface?

The electric field near the Earth's surface typically points vertically downward, towards the Earth. This is because the Earth's surface is negatively charged and repels negative charges, causing the electric field to point towards the surface.


If the electric field due to the excess charge on the Earth points downward what type of charge does the Earth carry?

The Earth carries a negative charge, as the electric field due to excess negative charge on the Earth points downward.


How large is the electric field generated by dust devils on Earth?

The electric field generated by dust devils on Earth can range from a few volts to tens of volts per meter. However, the exact strength of the electric field can vary depending on the specific conditions of the dust devil and location.


What movement results in the earth's magnetic field?

The Earth's magnetic field results from electric currents in the mantle and outer core around the iron solid core; every electricmagnet is prduced as a result of electricity flowing around a iron core - the same principle works in our own magnetic field.


What has its own magnetic field?

Planet Earth


Where does the convection occur that causes the Earth's magnetic field?

Convection occurs in the Earth's outer core, where the movement of molten iron and nickel creates electric currents. These electric currents generate the Earth's magnetic field through a process known as the geodynamo.


How is earth's magnetic field similar to that of a magnet?

electric current in a solenoid coil


Does the earth's magnetic field give information on the earth's interior composition?

The earth has electric currents in its structure, that create magnetic fields.


Are you bound to earth by electric forces or by gravity?

gravity because gravity is dependant on mass and not on charge like an electric field


When an observer moves past a stationary electric charge she detects?

Love and what not love love will keep you together with the earth


Where does the earths magnetic field originated from?

The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the the Earth's spin and the fact that it has molten iron in its core. When convecting molten metals spin they generate electric currents and with these a magnetic field.


How is earth a magnetic field?

The earth's magnetic field is caused by the fact that the earth has a moltern iron core. When moltern iron spins it causes an electric field. This causes an electromagnetic field. Some planets are too large or too small for the iron in their core to be molten.
