A copper wire produces a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. This is due to the interaction between the moving electrons in the wire and the magnetic field they generate.

How could straight copper wire produce magnetic field lines?

The copper by itself will do nothing of the sort. It will be surrounded by magnetic field lines if a current flows through it. It is the current that produces the magnetic field lines.


What materials you need to produce an electromagnets?

To produce an electromagnet, you will need a coil of wire (such as copper wire), a power source (such as a battery), and a magnetic material (such as iron) to create a magnetic field when current flows through the coil.


Does a wire with no current have a magnetic field?

Yes, a wire with no current flowing through it does not produce a magnetic field. Current flow is required to generate a magnetic field around a wire.


What happens when copper wire is moved through a magnetic field?

A net force acts on the electrons in the copper wire ...the electrons move depending on the direction of magnetic field and the motion of the wire and henc e there will be a current in the wire


Is a copper wire magnetic?

No, copper wire is not magnetic.


Is copper wire is magnetic?

it produces a magnetic field. i think that if current is passed through the wire it can attract pieces of iron


Why does a current carrying wire produce no magnetic field?

A current-carrying wire does produce a magnetic field around it according to Ampere's law, which states that a current generates a magnetic field. This phenomenon is the basis for the operation of electromagnets and the magnetic field produced is directly proportional the current flowing through the wire.


Will a magnet pick up more nails when covered in copper wire or metal wire?

copper wire because we all know that metal strengthens the magnetic field but copper has a special property that strengthens the magnetic field further so copper is the answer P.S. i already did the experiment


Can a wire produce electricity by itself?

You coil a wire and pass it through a magnetic field you will produce electricity.


How could you produce a magnetic field using a wire?

Any time an electric current passes through a wire, this will produce a magnetic field. If you want to make the field stronger, loop the wire into coils. The more coils you make, the stronger the field will be.


How does the presence of copper wire wrapped around a magnet affect the magnetic field produced by the magnet?

When copper wire is wrapped around a magnet, it creates an electromagnet. This increases the strength of the magnetic field produced by the magnet.


What describes the production of an electric current by moving a loop of wire through a magnetic field or moving a magnet through a wire loop?

moving a loop of wire through a magnetic Field. The rotation of a coil of copper wire trough a magnetic field changes magnetic field as "seen" from the coil inducing an alternating current.
