In an electromagnet as the electric current changes what happens to the magnetic field?
As the electric current changes in an electromagnet, the strength of the magnetic field also changes. An increase in current strength leads to a stronger magnetic field, while a decrease in current strength results in a weaker magnetic field. This ability to control the magnetic field strength makes electromagnets versatile in various applications.
Why a current wire deflects a magnetic needle placed near it?
A current wire deflects a magnetic needle placed near it because the current wire is creating an electric field. If the current is supplied from an AC (alternating current source as opposed to DC which is direct current- AC would be from a wall socket, DC from a battery), then the current is constantly changing, so the electric field is constantly changing. A changing electric field results in a magnetic field perpendicular (90 degrees) to it. It is actually the magnetic field that is changing the needle direction, because that needle is trying to follow the magnetic field lines (similar to those that you see when you put iron filing near a magnet).
Why generator produces only AC?
A generator produces electricity by moving wires through a magnetic field. The direction of the induced current is dependent upon the direction in which the wire crosses the magnetic field. In a generator the magnetic field is usually fixed - and the wires are spinning through it. So: Visualize a horizontal magnetic field. The axis of rotation of the wires is perpendicular to the field. Any given wire will be cutting up through the field at a given point... then, 180º later will be cutting down through the same field. The direction of the induced current will reverse with each half-rotation because the wire will be moving in the opposite direction relative to the magnetic field. (In the USA the generators produce "60 cycle" current. That tells you that the generators are turning their wires (coils) at 60 revolutions per second.) Richard yeaa buddie...Lickety splyt
Which type of current is produced by a wire breaking magnetic field lines and changing the polarity?
An alternating current (AC) is produced when a wire cuts through magnetic field lines and experiences a change in polarity. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction, where the changing magnetic field induces a current in the wire.
How does an AC electromagnet function and what are its applications?
An AC electromagnet functions by using alternating current to create a magnetic field. This magnetic field can attract or repel objects, depending on the polarity of the current. AC electromagnets are commonly used in devices such as electric motors, transformers, and generators. They are also used in industrial applications like magnetic separation and lifting heavy objects.
Moving a conductor through a magnetic field a voltage is induced in the conductor is called what type of induction?
Moving a conductor through a magnetic field will produce alternatinc current (AC).
Is electromagnetism is possible with AC?
AC current creates an alternating magnetic field, consistent with the alternating voltage. The only way I know of using AC current to create a constant magnetic field is to rectify the AC into DC and then use that DC to create the magnetic field.
Is flux only produce in ac supply or in both ac and dc?
Flux is produced in both AC and DC systems, but the nature of the flux differs. In DC circuits, the magnetic flux is constant, as the current flows in one direction. In AC circuits, the magnetic flux changes direction and magnitude periodically, resulting in a time-varying magnetic field. Thus, while both types of current can produce flux, AC generates a dynamic flux due to its oscillating nature.
Do transformers use steady magnetic fields to produce an emf in the secondary?
In an AC circuit it is the fluctuation of the sine wave which causes a varying magnetic field which in turn induces a current to flow in the secondary.
In an electromagnet as the electric current changes what happens to the magnetic field?

A wire in a lamp that is turned on would have a magnetic field around it?
Yes. Any current will produce a magnetic field. Note that such a field might be hard to detect, for example with a compass - since the AC current used in homes changes directions 50 or 60 times per second. Since this is much faster than the compass needle can follow, it will only show the average magnetic field, which is zero.
Is a circuit a path made for magnetic field?
A circuit is a path for charge particles -- it conducts current. An inductor, a circuit component, generates a magnetic field, when an AC is on. ======================

Is it necessary whenever there is an electric field there will be a magnetic field in perpendicular direction thus producing em waves if not what is the condition of em wave generation?
A moving charge (such as an electrical current) generates a magnetic field at right angles, true, but this field is stable and unchanging. An EM wave is only produced by a changing movement, for example an AC current. The condition would be that the field will change (and produce a wave) only if the current changes.

Why is dc current used in the excitation of generator?
The field current is used for the excitation of generators.AnswerYou use DC current, because you want the resulting magnetic field to be constant. If you used AC, the resulting magnetic field would vary in both strength and direction.
What condition will sinusoidal voltage be generated in a coil of wire that rotates in a magnetic field?
a generator or alternator,if the magnetic is permanent the current produced from the coil will be alternating current ac.
