What are magnetic field lines and how do they show the strength of a magnet?

Magnetic fields are bascially lines of force caused by magnetic poles. It is invisible, but you can track how the field lines are formed doing a small experiment. Spread some iron fillings on a tray. Then bring a magnet up close to the iron fillings but not too close. You can observe that the iron fillings move into the field lines of the magnet that you brought up close. That's a miniature of a magnetic field. The earth's magnetic field is much bigger.


Is magnetic field strength directly proportional to the coil or the current?

The strength of a magnetic field won't be directly proportional to the turns in the coil. It is more correct to say that field strength is directly proportional to current through the windings of the coil. There are some "limiting factors" that will not allow this to be a hard and fast rule, but it is essentially correct.AnswerMagnetic field strength (symbol: H) is defined as the magnetomotive force per unit length of a magnetic circuit. As magnetomotive force is the product of the current flowing through a winding and the number of turns, then, yes, magnetic field strength is proportional to both the current and the number of turns -but this is ONLY true over the straight part of the magnetisation curve (i.e. before it goes into saturation).


How does changing current affect the magnetic force on a wire suspended in a magnetic field?

Current passing through a wire in a magnetic field creates its own magnetic force in some direction. If you increase the current, force will be increased. If the direction of current is changed, direction of force will also be reversed. Direction of current is found by applying right hand rule.


What are some science sentences using magnetic field?

This high speed train is elevated above the rails with a magnetic field.


A charged particle moving with a constant velocity enters a magnetic field?

when a charged particle is moving with some velocity it produces some magnetic field. If we place that charged particle in presence of external magnetic field it gets affected by that external field.

What are some ways to increase the magnetic field around a wire?

There's only one way to do that: Increase the current (amperes) in the wire.


How strong is earth's magnetic field?

Not very strong in comparison with a typical small "bar magnet" which has a field strength of roughly 100 gauss. Earth's magnetic field strength at the surface is about 0.3 to 0.6 gauss. That's stronger than some planets and weaker than others.


What can a magnetic field lift?

a magnetic field can lift some metals not all.


What is a magnetic field will be produced at some point in space if the electric field at the point?

As far as the electric field is stationary then no magnetic field. But when electric field is moving at a uniform speed then a magnetic field will be produced. This is what we call Lorentz magnetic field.


How do you increase the magnetic field in a coil?

Magnetism requires mass of some sort. Smaller magnet, smaller field. I would think that the same holds true with the wire. In the field of electromagnetism you will be dealing with a power requirement to achieve desired strength of field. So, to give you my best answer to your question is to increase the electrical input. If the wire is already magnetic, get a thicker diameter magnetic wire.

Why is residual magnetism is necessary?

'Residual magnetism' isn't something that's 'necessary'; rather, it's something you're stuck with, whether you want it or not! Residual magnetism is due to a phenomenon called 'hysteresis', which is derived from a Greek word, meaning 'to lag'.A bit of background first. If we were to wind an insulated coil around the sample of ferromagnetic material, and pass a current through that wire, we would create and apply magnetic field strength (symbol: H), expressed in amperes per metre, to that sample. This results in a magnetic field being set up within the sample, the intensity of which we call its flux density (symbol: B) expressed in teslas.If we gradually increase the magnetic field strength, the resulting flux density would also increase until a point, called 'saturation' is reached -at this point any further increase in magnetic field strength will NOT increase the flux density. If we were to graph this behaviour, then the result would look something like an elongated 'S', rather than a straight line. This graph is known as a B-H curve.Now, if we were to reduce the magnetic field strength to zero, the magnetic flux density would also reduce towards zero (following a slightly-different curve) but would not reach zero when the magnetic field strength reaches zero -in other words, when we remove the magnetic field strength, the sample 'retains' some flux density -and we call this 'residual magnetism' or, more accurately, 'residual flux density' or 'remanance'. This is what we mean by 'hysteresis' -i.e. changes in magnetic flux density lag behind changes in magnetic field strength.To remove this residual flux density, we would actually need to reverse the direction of the magnetic field strength (by reversing the direction of the current through the coil) until the flux density falls to zero.Different ferromagnetic materials have different values of residual flux density. For example materials that make good permanent magnets have very high values of residual flux density while others, such as metals used to make transformers, electromagnets, etc., have very low values of residual flux density.To summarise, residual magnetism is something that occurs naturally and the amount of residual magnetism depends on the type of magnetic material involved. It's not a matter of being 'necessary', it's simply a characteristic of ALL magnetic materials.

Is magnetic a type of energy?

It takes some energy to build up a magnetic field; when the magnetic field collapses, the same amount energy is released again. So, it makes sense to consider that somehow, energy is stored in the magnetic field.
