Would electromagnetic waves exist if changing magnetic fields could produce electric fields but chaning electric fields could not in turn produce magnetic fields?

no


What are electromagnetic oscillators?

when a charge oscillates for example in a capacitor it produce an electric field; which in turns produce a magnetic field in an inductance. the magnetic field oscillates perpendicular to the electric field and an electromagnetic waves perpendicular to both is produced.


During electromagnetic blank a changing magnetic field can produce an electric charge?

RADIATION


How is an electromagnet wave generated?

We produce electric field and magnetic field. If we change the electric field with time (so magnetic field alse change), required frequency, then we produce electromagnetic wave.


Why is a vibrating electric field an example of an electromagnetic wave?

The changing electric field will produce a magnetic field; the changing magnetic field will cause an electric field; both will propagate as a wave - an electro-magnetic wave.


What is needed for electromagnetic induction?

An electric current is produced by the change in Magnetic flux over timeRead more: How_do_electromagnets_work


When electric and magnetic fields both exist it is called an?

Not really. You could have both an electric field and a magnetic field occupying the same space at the same time but they wouldn't 'make the definition' of electromagnetic until they began to fluxuate in phase at a harmonized frequency.


How can electromagnetic waves be produced?

Any electric charge undergoing acceleration will produce Electromagnetic waves. This is by far the most common way.If an oscillating electric field is synchronized with an oscillating magnetic field of exactly the same frequency a beam of light will be produce where the two fields are orthogonal in all dimensions.


Magnetism and an electric current are related because?

they both produce a magnetic field :)


What are two ways to produce electric fields electric fields are produced by charged particles or by changing magnetic fields?

One way to produce an electric field is through the presence of charged particles. When charged particles, such as electrons or protons, are stationary or in motion, they generate an electric field around them. Another way to produce an electric field is through changing magnetic fields. According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, a changing magnetic field induces an electric field, causing the flow of electric charges.


What vibrated to produce electromagnetic waves?

An electric charge.


Can moving electrons through a magnetic field can produce an electric current?

Electrons moving is an electric current. An electric current moving at an angle to a magnetic field will produce a Force.
