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.

What will a moving magnetic field produce?

I think it will produce electricity.


Can electricity easily produce a magnetic field?

Yes, electricity can easily produce a magnetic field by running current through a conductor. The magnetic field strength is directly proportional to the amount of current flowing through the conductor.


Can a wire produce electricity by itself?

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


Does electromagnet produce electricity or use electricity?

It doesn produce electricity. It uses electricity and shows magnetic properties.


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


Are magnets electrical?

Magnets create a magnetic field without the need for electricity. However, magnets and electricity are related as moving electrical charges (current) can produce a magnetic field, and vice versa (electromagnetism).


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.


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.


When a wire carries an electric current it products a?

It produces a magnetic field. Vice versa, when you run a magnet past a wire you generate an electric current. Electricity and magnetism are related. If you have electricity you can generate magnetism, if you have a magnet you can produce electricity.


What is the connection between magnetism and electricity?

The connection between magnetism and electricity is electromagnetism. An electric current creates a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field induces an electric current. This relationship forms the basis of many technologies, such as electric motors and generators.


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.
