Earths electromagnetic field is essiential to life on earth. Its deflects all the harmful radiation given off by the sun and in deep space. It is widely accepted that it is generated by our earths core. The core at the centre of the earth spins at a tremendous rate and the energy that it creates by doing this is thought to give of the electromagnetic energy.

Is the moon an Electromagnet?
No, the moon is not an electromagnet. It does not generate its own magnetic field like some planets do, such as Earth. The moon's magnetic field is much weaker and is thought to be remnants of its early history.
What is a magnet made by electric current?
An electromagnet.
Why electromagnet is used for separating plastic bags?
An electromagnet can attract the metal, leaving the plastic behind.An electromagnet can attract the metal, leaving the plastic behind.An electromagnet can attract the metal, leaving the plastic behind.An electromagnet can attract the metal, leaving the plastic behind.
Is Venus electromagnet?
Venus does not have a global magnetic field like Earth does, so it is not considered an electromagnet. The lack of a magnetic field is believed to be due to Venus having a very slow rotation, which affects the generation of a magnetic field in its core.
What are the arrangement of moving magnets and wire coil called?
electromagnet
Is earth an electromagnet?
a part of the earths structure causes it to act like an electromagnet
Why does a compass move when it gets near an electromagnet?
When a compass gets near an electromagnet, the magnetic field produced by the electromagnet interferes with the Earth's magnetic field, causing the compass needle to align with the electromagnet's field instead. This phenomenon is known as magnetic deflection.
How is the Earth's magnetic field like an electromagnet?
The Earth's magnetic field is created by the movement of molten iron in its outer core. This movement generates a magnetic field, similar to how an electromagnet works by passing an electric current through a coil of wire to create a magnetic field. Both the Earth's magnetic field and an electromagnet have a north and south pole that attract and repel magnetic materials.
Is Venus a electromagnet?
Venus does not have a global magnetic field like Earth does. However, it is thought to have localized magnetic fields in certain regions due to interactions between its atmosphere and the solar wind. So, it is not considered an electromagnet like Earth.
Does a compass use a electromagnet?
Yes, a compass uses a magnetized needle that aligns with the Earth's magnetic field to determine direction. The Earth's magnetic field is created by the movement of molten metal in its outer core, acting like a giant electromagnet.
What is the source of electromagnet?
An electromagnet is a type of magnet whose magnetic properties stem from electricity. The earth has a lot of electromagnet waves running through it's surface, which come from the polarization of the planet. A more simple electromagnet can be made by wrapping wire around a metal object and connecting the wire to a battery (just be careful).
Earth is a what kind of magnet?
Apparently an electromagnet, if that's what you mean, since the current is believed to be the result of currents flowing in Earth's interior.
What would happen to electronics magnets etc if the earths magnetic poles changed?
Nothing - The polarity of an electromagnet depends on the direction of current flow and you can effect the same change in orientation to the earth's field by moving the electromagnet rather than the earth's field.
Is a compass an electromagnet?
Usually it's a permanent magnet. You could use an electromagnet instead, but doing so is considerably harder from an engineering standpoint.
What would happen if you placed a compass near an electromagnet?
The compass needle would align itself with the magnetic field produced by the electromagnet. The north-seeking end of the compass needle would point towards the south pole of the electromagnet, and vice versa.
Which is better a permanent magnet or an electromagnet?
electromagnet
Is the moon an Electromagnet?
No, the moon is not an electromagnet. It does not generate its own magnetic field like some planets do, such as Earth. The moon's magnetic field is much weaker and is thought to be remnants of its early history.
