Yes, alternating current will produce a magnetic field due to the changing electric field it generates as it flows through a conductor. This magnetic field is essential for the operation of devices such as Transformers and electric motors.

Does ac current produce magnetic field?

Yes; any current produces a magnetic field, an AC current will produce an alternating magnetic field. If the current (and therefore the magnetic field) changes quickly, you may not be able to detect it with a compass needle, for example.


What is the purpose of a magnetic field produced by charges in a current?

Depends whether Direct Current or Alternating Current. Only Alternating Current produces magnetic field.


Why does a transformer require alternating current?

In order to induce voltage as an output, a changing magnetic field is needed. To create a changing magnetic field in the transformer a changing current and that is an alternating current.


If a conductor carrying an alternating current is formed into a coil the magnetic field that is generated?

The magnetic field produced is stronger due to the increased number of wire turns in the coil. The coil shape helps to focus and concentrate the magnetic field within the center of the coil, making it more effective for applications such as electromagnets or transformers.


How do electric generators produce a current?

they produce a current the magnetic field has to turn motion into that current. the gas coal or water pass on that current to the magnetic field.


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.


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.


Loops of wire that turn in the magnetic field of an armature create?

Loops of wire that turn in the magnetic field of an armature create current?

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.


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.


How does a generator produce a alternating current?

Electro-magnetic induction . a rotating force-field, so to speak. sounds very sci-Fi but a basic electrical device.
