Sort of... In permanent magnets, magnetism is due to the movement of electrons around their atoms. Each atom is a small magnet, and there are more atoms aligned in one direction than in the other. If you consider the electron orbiting around the atom, or "spinning around its axis" as a "current", then yes.

Electric currents ... especially in coils.


What do magnets have to with electricity?

Faraday showed that a wire passing through a magnetic field will produce electricity. This is how a generator works. Many windings of wire on an armature spin in a magnetic field. This makes electricity.


Can magnets produce electric currents?

Motion of a coil within a magnetic field will induce a current in the coil if it can complete a circuit.


Are magnets made from certain materials?

ALL magnets are the result of moving electrons. A simple copper coil carrying an electric current demonstrates the simplest form.Permanent magnets are those materials in which a number of the electrons share a similar spin.Commonly reference is made to the magnetic loops of plasma on the surface of the Sun, but at a temperature of over 50 000 deg C, there are no magnetic materials. These magnetic fields are the result of electric currents flowing near the surface of the sun.The magnetic field of the Earth is generated by electric currents flowing roughly parallel with the equator. or rather, the net result of many electric currents flowing around the Earth - probably in the magma.But the ordinary permanent magnets are indeed made of particular elements in which the 'magnetic domains' may be aligned in parallel.

How is Law of electric charge related to electric motor?

An electric motor is made up of magnets .. some electric induced magnets , some permanent magnets . the electric magnets are arranged so that when the power is turned on they activate in a series of pulsing magnets.. this pulsing causes the magnets in the core and the magnets in the body of the motor to repel and attract as magnets will do .. this repelling and attracting causes the magnets to try and chase each other around .. this action is turning the core of the motor and producing the rotating action expected from an electric motor


How do magnets magnetic fields electric currents and metals connect?

Well when an electric current flows through a conductor a magnetic field is produced. And a changing magnetic flux through a conductor produces a current in the conductor.


Can an electric current exert a force on a magnet?

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