It is just one of the properties of matter that when an electric current passes through a conductor a magnetic field is formed around the conductor. Why this happens I don't think anyone knows.

That is the way our Universe works.

Electricity and magnetism are different aspects of the same force.

What will a moving magnetic field produce?

I think it will produce electricity.


Can a wire produce electricity by itself?

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


The fundamental concept behind the operation of a transformer is?

an electric current can produce a magnetic field. then,magnetic field within the core of wire will induced the voltage. so magnetic will produce from current at the galvanometer and magnet was far from galvanometer and it induces the voltage


How do you generate electricity from a turbine?

A wire moving in a magnetic field will automatically produce an emf (a voltage).


How can brain activation produce a magnetic field?

Any material that can conduct electricity can produce a magnetic field. The brain uses tinny amounts of electricity to move messages around itself so the brain produces a very small magnetic field that Medical Doctors using very sensitive equipment may be able to detect


What do magnets have to with electricity?

Faraday showed that a wire passing through a magnetic field will produce electricity. This is how a generator works. Many windings of wire on an armature spin in a magnetic field. This makes electricity.


What is the connection between magnetism and electricity?

They are opposite "sides" of the electromagnetic force. A moving magnetic field produces electricity and a moving electric field produces magnetism. Should both move alternately they produce electromagnetic radiation.


How is magnetism used to produce electricity?

A time-varying magnetic field can be used to induce a current in an inductor


Does electricity always produce a magnetic force?

Magnetism, an aspect of electromagnetism, one of the fundamental forces of nature. Objects such as a bar magnet can influence other magnetic materials, without physically connecting them, because magnetic objects produce a magnetic field. Magnetic fields are usually represented by magnetic flux lines. Magnetic fields influence magnetic materials and also influence charged particles that move through the magnetic field.


If a stationary electron sat inside a stationary magnetic field would the magnetic field cause the electron to move?

Stationary charge don't produce a magnetic field. because it has no velocity in it, without flow of electron we can't find electricity and for that we have no magnetic field for a stationary charge. It produce only electric field.


What are the applications of a magnetic field produced by circular coil?

Two very common applications are to produce electricity as a generator, and to run on electricity as a motor.


What are ways magnets can produce electricity?

If a conductor moves in a magnetic field, a voltage will be induced. This can be tapped to get an electrical current.
