What happens when you reverse the current in a current-carrying magnetic field?

The polarity of the electromagnet reverses.


What happens when you decrease the current in an electromagnet?

When you decrease the current in an electromagnet, the magnetic field decreases.


What happens when the electric current is reversed on am electromagnet?

When an electric current is reversed in an electromagnet, the magnetic field also reverses.


What happens to the electromagnet when the circuit is closed?

An electromagnet if formed by pushing current through a coil. If the circuit is truly open, current will cease to flow, thus no electromagnet.


What happens if you increase the current in an electomagnet?

As current increases, the electromagnet strength will increase.


What happens when a current stops flowing through the wire of an electromagnet?

magnetic fieldOnly


Is it possible to use the reverse force of a magnet to make float?

The poles of an electromagnet can change depend inf on the current supplied.


In an electromagnet as the electric current changes what happens to the magnetic field?

the magnetic field would constantly change, that's why the AC current is converted to DC current


The what of an electromagnet is determined by the direction of current flow?

The electromagnet (polarity) is determined by the direction of current.


What can be done with an electromagnet that cannot be done with a regular permanent magnet?

Its strength can be easily manipulated (e.g. you can switch it off). Or the strength can be varied with the current. Electromagnets can reverse polarity (by reversing the current).


What is a magnet made by electric current?

An electromagnet.


What happens to the strength of magnetic force in an electromagnet when increasing the current through the coil?

The strength is increased, this is how Roller Coasters operate.
